How Cohesive is your Company? — A Leadership Parable
Top-notch business performance is impossible until you — cohesively align mission, vision, goals, strategy, execution, & culture
Synopsis
CEO Trent Wertheimer wants to take his company to the next level. However, the harder he tries, the deeper he digs himself into a hole. This is a fast moving story of his personal transformation and his company’s business transformation. You need both to succeed.
Until the next board meeting is all the time CEO Trent has to regain the board’s confidence, forewarns Chairman Peter Avon.
Trent faces challenging questions. How do I improve my relationships and mitigate politics? How do I drive clear thinking and cohesive actions? How do I tie everything together from mission, vision, strategy to execution, and drive growth?
Engrossing and unpredictable, How Cohesive is Your Company? offers a rich preview of team dysfunction, politics, and personality conflicts; and practical insights on how to drive progress in such situations.
Through Trent’s eye-opening journey, you will discover a proven, succinct management method that will drive clarity and cohesion, rewire your business, and… rewire your management and leadership perspectives.
“HOW COHESIVE IS YOUR COMPANY? is an innovative approach using a novel format to bring together all the strategic elements of running an enterprise. What makes this so powerful is that it translates somewhat sterile concepts from traditional strategy textbooks into the richness of the human experience and dialogue so crucial to their understanding and effective implementation. It is a great informative read for both experienced and emerging leaders.”
