Simply put, 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. Lencioni’s first nonfiction book provides leaders with a groundbreaking, approachable model for achieving organizational health—complete with stories, tips, and anecdotes from his experiences consulting with some of the nation’s leading organizations. In this age of informational ubiquity and nanosecond change, it is no longer enough to build a competitive advantage based on intelligence alone. The Advantage provides a foundational construct for conducting business in a new way—one that maximizes human potential and aligns the organization around a common set of principles.
