For Bulk Orders Call: 626-441-2024  Description and Reviews From The Publisher: In this fictional story of corporate intrigue, the author of the best-selling book, The Five Temptations of a CEO, identifies four simple principles business leaders can use to guide the complex proce ss of building a healthy organizational culture. Companies succeed for just two reasons: they are smart, and they are healthy. Unfortunately, most executives spend far more time on making their organizations smart than they do on making them healthy. This makes little sense when one considers the most amazing characteristic of healthy organizations: they eventually find ways to become smarter than their competitors. In this uniquely readable book, practical advice for business leaders is woven into a captivating tale of two rival business leaders who discover both the perils of an unhealthy culture and the secrets of healthy ones. A special section at the end of the story guides readers in implementing the model in their own companies. Reviews "Another homerun by Lencioni! This will be the first book we give to the thousands of executives who take part in our program." —Verne Harnish, founder, Young Entrepreneurs' Organization; CEO, Gazelles, Inc. "This is a wonderful book- a compelling story with a significant message for executives." —David S. Pottruck, president & co-CEO, The Charles Schwab Corporation; coauthor, Clicks and Mortar "Lencioni encourages us as managers to deal with human issues that are not quickly quantifiable in a spreadsheet or a quarterly report." —Glenn Kiser, vice president and general manager, Skywalker Sound, Lucas Digital LTD.LLC "Another great page-turner from Lencioni! As fun to read as it is insightful." —John J. Donahoe, worldwide managing director, Bain & Company, Inc. "Pat's formula, while elegantly simple, has profound implications for leaders in all sectors. It's right on the mark." —Paula Van Ness, president & CEO, Make-A-Wish Foundation of America
