I've finally found a book that I can honestly recommend to others that provides the knowledge and the guidance to significantly improve performance. This book not only provides the tools of change required for high performance, but it provides a feasible means to achieve significant improvement by the effective leadership of both people and processes. Any business leader who is truly interested in momentous change must read this book with the intention of following its guidance through the issues.

Follow the exercises throughout the book and this tool becomes a business plan for improvement for any manager. This is a must read for any manager looking for better performance! This book is not just a what to do, it's a how to do it book.
