In this book, McKnight, Kaney, and Breuer provide a highly useful, if not the antidote for today’s unacceptable failure rate of leaders. The primary culprit is insufficient engagement of followers in strategy development and execution.

One of the most practical strategy books I have read. The authors have created an understandable, useful book that is based upon solid theories. The visuals are fantastic and their assessments useful, concise and to the point. Their "action learning" concept at the end of chapters is a great way to digest their chapters.

I am only about 1/3 of the way through it. It is a great book and I am using the info right now as I work with staff on planning and goal setting for our new program year beginning 9.1. –John Naegle, Regional Administrator

I loved these two highlights from the book:
#1 The “Best to Work For” companies constantly outperform major stock indices by double.
#2 Lack of alignment in an organization is magnified as time elapses. Just as the rocket aiming for the moon. One degree of from the correct bearing and the navigational error is compounded over time.
