內容簡介:
There is a competitive advantage out there, arguably more
powerful than any other. Is it superior strategy? Faster
innovation? Smarter employees? No, New York Times best-selling
author, Patrick Lencioni, argues that the seminal difference
between successful companies and mediocre ones has little to do
with what they know and how smart they are and more to do with how
healthy they are. In this book, Lencioni brings together his vast
experience and many of the themes cultivated in his other
best-selling books and delivers a first: a cohesive and
comprehensive exploration of the unique advantage organizational
health provides. Simply put, an organization is healthy when it is
whole, consistent and complete, when its management, operations and
culture are unified. Healthy organizations outperform their
counterparts, are free of politics and confusion and provide an
environment where star performers never want to leave. Lencioni''s
first non-fiction book provides leaders with a groundbreaking,
approachable model for achieving organizational health-complete
with stories, tips and anecdotes from his experiences consulting to
some of the nation''s leading organizations. In this age of
informational ubiquity and nano-second change, it is no longer
enough to build a competitive advantage based on intelligence
alone. The Advantage provides a foundational construct for
conducting business in a new way-one that maximizes human potential
and aligns the organization around a common set of principles.
