Predictable Results in Unpredictable Times

Companies trying to navigate in unpredictable times face four key hazards: 1. FAILURE TO EXECUTE, 2. CRISIS OF TRUST, 3. LOSS OF FOCUS, 4. PERVASIVE FEAR. In this book, there's a chapter on each of these four essential principles, together with a plan to help you apply them.One of the best ways to learn from this book is to teach its principles to someone else. It's a commonplace that the teacher learns far more than the student. So at the end of each chapter, you're invited to find someone--a co-worker, a friend, a family member--and teach him or her the insights you've gained from the chapter. You can follow the "Teach to Learn" guide provided or make up your own.
