Book Reviews February 15th, 2007
Category: Books
Genre: Business & Investing
Author: Patrick Lencioni
Another excellent fable by Lencioni. Its a very short read, an interesting story and a great teaching through believable characters and situations. The book covers 5 major areas or temptations that cripple many CEOs and executives and are outlined as:
1. invulnerable personality
2. fear of conflict
3. hold directs highly accountable
4. wanting to be liked
5. avoiding things to protect ego/status
Anyway, I enjoyed the book, its an excellent message and really demonstrates some common themes or problems many people suffer from. The characters discuss and demonstrate a way to address each of these tempations. I’d definitely recommend reading it.
