<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Fresh off the success of his "The Five Temptations of a CEO", Lencioni tackles the primary issue that all business leaders must address: the key to success lies in organizational health. In this engaging and instructive story, he identifies four simple principles to guide organizations in the complex process of developing and maintaining organizational culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Ein wichtiger Schlüssel zum Unternehmenserfolg liegt in einer gesunden Unternehmensstruktur. Lencioni erläutert vier einfache Prinzipien, von denen sich ein Unternehmen bei Aufbau und Aufrechterhaltung einer gesunden Unternehmenskultur leiten lassen sollte. Diese spannende Erzählung handelt von Vince Green, CEO von Greenwich Consulting und Rich O' Connor, CEO von Telegraph Consulting. Die Geschichte ist aber nicht nur spannend, sondern auch lehrreich: Der Schlüssel zu O'Connors Erfolg liegt in seiner Fähigkeit, sich auf die 4 scheinbar einfachen, doch absolut wesentlichen Disziplinen zu konzentrieren. Es wird aber auch deutlich, welche Gefahren lauern und wieviel Umsicht es erfordert, die Unternehmenskultur dauerhaft gesund zu erhalten.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>As CEO, most everything that Rich O'Connor did had something to do with at least one of the four disciplines on his famed yellow sheet. Some of the firm's executives joked that he was obsessed with it. <p/> Interestingly, only a handful of people actually knew what was on that sheet, and so it remained something of a mystery. Which was okay with Rich, because no one really needed to understand it, other than him. <p/> He certainly never suspected that it would become the blueprint of an employee's plan to destroy the firm. <p/> In this stunning follow-up to his best-selling book, The Five Temptations of a CEO, Patrick Lencioni offers up another leadership fable that's every bit as compelling and illuminating as its predecessor.<br> This time, Lencioni's focus is on a leader's crucial role in building a healthy organization--an often overlooked but essential element of business life that is the linchpin of sustained success.<br> Readers are treated to a story of corporate intrigue as Rich O'Connor, fictional CEO of technology consulting company Telegraph Partners, faces a leadership challenge so great that it that threatens to topple his company, his career and everything he holds true about what makes a leader.<br> In the story's telling, Lencioni deftly helps his readers understand the disarming simplicity and power of creating a healthy organization, and reveals four key disciplines that they can follow to achieve it.<br> Once again, Lencioni delivers an utterly gripping tale with a powerful and memorable message for all who strive to be extraordinary leaders.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Another homerun by Lencioni!
