A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Consulting executive Lencioni (The Five Dysfunctions of a Team) has an answer for floundering businesses aim for organizational health. In other words, businesses that are whole, consistent, and complete, with complementary management, operations, strategy, and culture. Today, the vast majority of organizations have more than enough intelligence, experience, and knowledge to be successful. Organizational health is neither sexy nor quantifiable, which is why more people don′t take advantage. However, improved health will not only create a competitive advantage and better bottom line, it will boost morale. Lencioni covers four steps to health: build a cohesive leadership team, create clarity, overcommunicate clarity, and reinforce clarity. Through examples of his own experiences and others′, he addresses the behaviors of a cohesive team, peer–to–peer accountability, office politics and bureaucracy and strategy, and how all organizations should strive to make people′s lives better. This smart, pithy, and practical guide is a must–read for executives and other businesspeople who need to get their proverbial ducks back in a row. (Apr.) ( Publishers Weekly, 1/16/12)

′Something in it for everyone a lot of value in it (Alan Jordon, Sales Director of Bookbuzz)

The book contains a wealth of practical yet profound advice that would be of benefit to any HR or organisational professional. (HR Zone, September 2012)

geared mainly at leader s, I believe it is applicable to any medium sized to large organisation. (Professional Manager, November 2012)
