by Patrick Lencioni

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. 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. “The Advantage” provides leaders with a four-discipline model for achieving organizational health: build a cohesive leadership team, create clarity, overcommunicate clarity, and reinforce clarity. In “The Advantage,” Lencioni brings together many of the themes cultivated in his other best-selling books and delivers a cohesive and comprehensive exploration of the unique advantage organizational health provides. This practical guide is a must-read for all managers and executives.
