Review

"This wonderful book will transform our understanding of corporate culture.

Finally, an approach to corporate culture that makes a compelling business case! " Stephen M. R. Covey, The New York Times bestselling author of The Speed of Trust, and co-author of Smart Trust "This fast-paced book is an actionable guide to understanding and improving the culture of an organization. It explores the soft concept of culture in concrete terms and connects the dots between the culture of an organization and its business performance. Leaders and managers will find this book an invaluable guide to evolve and align their organization's culture and business strategy for building sustainable value". - Frank Tempesta, President & CEO, Textron Systems Corp (retired) "I never really paid that much attention to culture - took it for granted - until I realized how important it is to have cultural alignment with strategy" Eric C.

This is the Holy Grail of leadership; knowing how to create an environment where employees flourish and businesses succeed not because they have the right products and or services, but because they have a winning culture."
