GLS: The Advantage by Patrick Lencioni


·      People need to be reminded more than instructed.  Life is simple we need to remember things!
·      Organization health is the single greatest competitive advantage.  It is free but it is largely untapped in many organizations.
o   Why?  Many leaders think it is beneath them! They cannot measure it!
·      Two requirements for success:
o   Smart:  to work well strategically.  Half the equations but 98% of attention. Tech, Marketing etc. 
o   Healthy:  Low turnover, high moral, minimal confusion, and politics.
§  Health is the multiplier of your intelligence.
·      How do we make our organizations healthy?
o   1.  Build a Cohesive Leadership Team
§  5 dysfunctions of a team.
o   2.  Create clarity
§  6 critical questions:
·      Why do we exist?
·      How do we behave?
·      What do we do?
·      How will we succeed?
o   What is our strategy?
§  Honor your 3 anchor values!        
·      What is more important, right now?
·      Who must do what?
o   3.  Over communicate Clarity
o   4.  Reinforce Clarity
§  With human systems.
