About this title

Book Description:

Being successful depends on having a careful plan of action. This would seem obvious, but it's easy to lose sight of when one is distracted by day-to-day tasks and "emergencies." Additionally, the commitment of a single individual to a plan isn't enough—the effort of an entire group guided by a cohesive directive is usually required to achieve success.
