Mattison and Joshua Medcalf co-authored the book, The War at Work: A Tale of Navigating the Unwritten Rules of the Hierarchy in a Half Changed World. The book describes The Age of the Network, a world of hyper-connectivity and constant flux, where disruption is the norm and autonomy, empowerment and meaning are basic expectations of the new workforce. Living in a "half-changed world," everything from communication and etiquette, policies, and procedures, where and when work happens, and “paying your dues” are still influenced by a long list of “unwritten rules” established by the world that preceded the Network: the Hierarchy. Responsible for the creation of incredible efficiencies and scale over the past 150 years, the top-down structures and culture of the Hierarchy are still deeply embedded in our organizations and leadership ideologies today. This book shows readers how to become leaders who can successfully navigate the challenge of thriving in two very different worlds.
