I am an avid reader. I read everything I get my hands on — especially as it relates to business. However, I also happen to be picky about what I recommend — especially as it relates to business.
As a consultant, I’m always searching for helpful, insightful and applicable information that will stay with my clients for the long haul. I always have a top five most-recommended list of books in mind, and as soon as I read The Advantage, it soared to the No. 1 position. This book is incredible. It’s easy to read, and it directly deals with the No. 1 problem business owners and leaders face today, which is the organizational health of their company. And it addresses it in a way that is easy to understand.
Not only does Patrick Lencioni lay it out in a clear and organized manner, but he also provides other free resources to support the book. You can find these at tablegroup.com/oh. These resources include a survey, discussion questions and videos highlighting each topic in the book.
The information in this book is critical for business owners to embrace if they are to create and build a business that stands the test of time. Enjoy!
