Patrick Lencioni and Organizational Health: The Last Untapped Competitive Advantage
In Patrick Lencioni’s latest book, The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else in Business, he makes the overwhelming case that organizational health “will surpass all other disciplines in business as the greatest opportunity for improvement and competitive advantage.”
While so many leaders limit their search for an advantage to conventional and largely exhausted areas like marketing, strategy and technology, Lencioni demonstrates that there is an untapped gold mine sitting right beneath them. Instead of trying to become smarter, he asserts that leaders and organizations need to shift their focus to becoming healthier, allowing them to tap into the more-than-sufficient intelligence and expertise they already have.
A healthy organization is characterized by one that has minimal politics and confusion, high degrees of morale and productivity, and very low turnover among good employees.
Drawing on his twenty year experience consulting to some of the world’s leading teams and reaffirming many of the themes cultivated in his other best-selling books, Lencioni will reveal the four actionable steps to achieving long-term, sustainable success with special concentration on teamwork and collaboration.
