Book Description:
There is a competitive advantage that might be stronger than all the others. Is it a good plan of action? Faster progress? Smarter employees? No, Patrick Lencioni, a best-selling author in the New York Times, says that the main difference between successful and average companies is less about what they know and how smart they are and more about their health. In this book, Lencioni brings together his many years of experience and the themes he has developed in his other best-selling books. He then does something that has never been done before: he looks at the unique Advantage that organizational health offers cohesively and thoroughly.
An organization is healthy when its management, operations, and culture work together as a single unit. Healthy organizations do better than their competitors, don’t have any politics or confusion, and have a place where their best employees don’t want to leave. In his first non-fiction book, Lencioni gives leaders a new, easy-to-understand model for making an organization healthy. The text contains stories, tips, and anecdotes from his time as a consultant to some of the country’s best organizations. In this day and age, when information is everywhere, and things can change in a nanosecond, it is no longer enough to be competent to get ahead. The Advantage gives a framework for doing business in a new way that makes the most of people’s talents and brings the organization together around a standard set of values.
