Clarification: Unbound Dimensions is the name of the book series the publisher created.
In your Organization of Work ... Words matter!
And, there are no absolute words. However, there are approximations.
People describe and explain their work and workplace as they experience it. It’s though conversation that a common understanding arises.
This book shines light on ways to manage and lead the Organization of Work while * stimulating clarity, * grounding oneself, and * having fun doing so.
The Structure of the Book follows a "nested" progression:
Chapter 1 and 2
Organization of Work is the larger concept in which you manage and lead Paradoxes. The most notable paradox is that of managing and leading. To have one is to have the other.
Chapter 3
You use Managing and Leading tools and techniques to activate your Organization of Work. A list of competencies are given to highlight the extent of actions involved in managing-leading.
Chapter 4
The Wiggly-T Dance Model is a tool and technique to view the complementary connections within, without, between and together for managing and leading your Organization of Work.
Chapter 5
The last chapter suggests Organization (Workplace) Culture is the next learning topic useful to extend the managing and leading ideas presented in this book.

Steve Broe, PhD
from Foreword to the book
The intelligent guidance given to the Organization of Work determines how people feel about their work. The quality of workplace culture is often determined by the tone of manager-leaders and their Organization of Work.
Dr. Hobbs is about to show you why you should give all who manage a new appraisal. He offers in the pages that follow a direction and a pathway toward building management-leadership talent together. Most importantly, he makes the case that managers and leaders are really the same “animal.†He prefers to use the word manager-leader to remind us all that we have a continuum of managing-leading behaviors within us (all of us), and that more attention should be given to that insignificant little dash between the words (manager-leader).

Stephen’s [Organization of Work] program and thinking was the catalyst to the exceptional success we have today. Leading us on a journey, Stephen’s process created a safe environment for the newly acquired team and the Cervus team to discuss the current realities of the culture, the business and the obstacles to reaching the Cervus of Tomorrow Vision.
On the Journey we were able to create a set of celebrated mutual cultural attributes, a plan to enhance current successes and improve on the current business challenges. This work resulted in the development of our mutually agreed Five Year Strategy.
In each of the acquisition where Stephen’s [Organization of Work] Program was used we have seen the integration time line significantly reduced along with cultural alignment and financial performance well beyond our expectations.
