Examining the experiences of three exemplar companies, Next Jump, Decurion, and Bridgewater, this book distills the unique characteristics of "deliberately developmental organizations" (DDOs) and the practices necessary to sustain them. While the authors concede that intentionally designing and managing organizational culture to promote employee growth is deeply challenging and unlikely to fit every workplace, they conclude that with principled implementation, the DDO approach is good for people as well as profit. An Everyone Culture is organized into seven chapters and an epilogue that examine Next Jump, Decurion, and Bridgewater from a number of perspectives, including those of founders, top managers working to evolve DDO practices, and employees focused on their own developmental goals. Recognizing that readers may be challenged by the principles of the DDO, the processes of personal growth that these DDOs deploy, and/or the companies' approach to the bottom line, the authors advise readers to "choose the best sequence through the book" (p. 6), offering a number of alternative sequences tailored to readers' learning goals and characteristics. For example, "If you prefer to see the big picture before you look at living instances. .. you may prefer a more deductive sequence, beginning with chapters 2 and 3 and then moving to chapter 1" (p. 7). Chapter 1, "Meet the DDOs," introduces the reader to each company, its core business, and a few of its signature DDO strategies. Next Jump is an e-commerce marketplace. Its DDO slogan, "Better Me + Better You = Better Us" (p. 20), reflects the company's belief that each employee must be committed not only to continuous individual growth but also to supporting others in learning from risk and failure. Decurion Corporation is a privately held corporation with real estate and entertainment interests that strives to connect all work-from taking cinema tickets and making popcorn-to powerful values such as hospitality. For this company, development is deeply tied to making work personally meaningful. Bridgewater is one of the best-performing hedge funds in the world. As one of the few funds to make money during the Great Recession, the company attributes its success to relentless commitment to facing the truth, including personal shortcomings and mistakes. Together, these examples show that "a deliberately developmental culture is rooted in the unshakable belief that business can be an ideal context for people's growth,

Thanks to both of you for the tremendous and life-affirming contributions you have made to my life course as well as this project! Throughout this undertaking I have had the blessing and support of my family, including my husband of over thirty years, Bill Cole, and our children (and their wonderful partners) Joshua (and Lynda), Aaron (and Emily), and Jemmi. You have brought me great joy and encouragement (and baby Shoshana!) during this process, and continued to build meaningful lives of your own that I am so proud of! And to my sister, Gigi Worley, who has been my stalwart ally and accomplice through all the ups and downs life has thrown our way. I know you can kill a cougar with a spoon, but I sure hope you never have to. For those who got me started, but were missing at the finish line, your memories will always be a blessing. Lyn & Jim Goldstine, z"l, Eric O. Clarke, z"l, Julie Grevstad, z"l, and Miriam Hall, z"l. And finally, to all the same-aged women (and the younger ones looking on) who told me they felt inspired by the possibility of a mid-life crisis with red robes rather than a little red roadster, I say: dare to dream it, you can have both! vi

A number of life experiences, including having an incarcerated parent (Aaron & Dallaire, 2010, Murray, Farrington & Sekol, 2012, Wildeman, 2009), being suspended from school (Christle, Jolivette & Nelson, 2005, Wald & Losen, 2003), and being detained as a juvenile (Aos, Lieb, Mayfield, Miller & Pennucci, 2004), have been studied as risk factors—experiences that increase the likelihood of incarceration. However, most studies rely on correlational analysis of large data sets which contain almost no information on the timing, sequencing and accumulation of risk (Borowsky, Ireland & Resnick, 2002), critical factors in understanding the contours of health and behavioral outcomes (Teicher & Parigger, 2015). In this study, 10 incarcerated men were interviewed about their memories of school and then asked to produce a life grap...
