Flexibility is key for our current business environment, and this book helps readers understand why and when it is necessary to shift gears and business priorities to get optimal results.

Organizational examples, including Cisco, Dell, FedEx, HP, and, IBM, among others, demonstrate how to analyze the organization life cycle and determine how to balance priorities effectively to produce results for the short- and long-term. Typically organizations focus on one or two priorities based on the assumption that paying attention to a single goal is an advantage. To the contrary, such a limited focus reduces an organization’s flexibility and slows its response to change.

A personal assessment of the reader’s driving priorities in the "leadership spectrum " sets the stage for learning how to capture hidden opportunities, avoid potential threats, and surmount performance barriers. |
