Motivation. Easy. Leadership. No problem. Performance management. Simple. All of these statements are true if and only if you have the right people. That's the really hard bit: choosing the right people. A chief executive's dream is to have scientific help when choosing key people and Pixie Dust is that help a book written as a fable from the heart. The fable starts when all is well in a community; then, a recruitment exercise ends in the not-unfamiliar 'appointment from hell'.
