Monday Minute // 4 Obsessions of an Extraordinary CEO
7:56 PM
So if you know anything about me or you read my posts on a
regular basis then you know that I love love love Patrick Lencioni (for more about him go HERE) and his
books. I have yet to read one that doest not challenge me and make me better if
I apply what is in the book. I
have done reviews on his other books HERE and HERE!
The 4 obsessions of an Extraordinary CEO is no exception.
This was a great book for any leader that leads teams to read and process
through with his/her team. I refuse to ruin the book for you by telling you
what the 4 obsessions are. But here are 3 reasons you and/or your team will
love this book.
Stories Rock – I
love a good story. I can totally get lost in one. And it helps me process when
a story is used as an example or as an intro to a big point. That is what this
book does. It tells you a story so that you can process through is with the
characters in the book. Lencioni is a master of creating this tension and
sucking you into the flow of the story.
The Model – At
the end of all of his books he clearly lays out the model for what you have
just read. He doesn’t just tell you a story and then wrap it up. He really
breaks down the process of what you just saw unfold. He will give you
actionable steps to process through with you team and direct questions for you
to ask yourself and your team.
Its Simple – I
have yet to read one of Lencionis books and walk away feeling like I could not
apply what I read. Now don’t misunderstand me, it will take work and it will
take time. But the concepts are easy to understand and the steps are relatively
obvious.
You can find this book all over Amazon or at any bookstore.
