What’s Inside
11 Archetype Pages
Each archetype decoded in one page: the incentive logic that produces the behavior, the behavioral indicators that reveal the pattern, and the structural lesson — what the pattern teaches you about the organization.
The Six Forces of Organizational Gravity
The structural drivers that make these patterns inevitable: incentive asymmetry, prestige bias, governance drift, information asymmetry, promotion deferral, and competence absorption.
The Seven Reminders
Distilled from the book’s epilogue — the principles that remain after the analysis is complete.

The Field Guide names the patterns. Who’s Running This Place? decodes the structural forces that produce them — and provides the framework for navigating forward.
