Description
A singularly relevant application of organisational leadership to the home and family
In this unique and groundbreaking book, business consultant and New York Times best-selling author Patrick Lencioni sets his sights on the most important organisation in our lives—the family.
As a husband and the father of four young boys, Lencioni realised the discrepancy between the time and energy his clients put into running their organisations and the reactive way most people run their personal lives. Having experienced the stress of a frantic family firsthand, he and his wife began applying some of the tools he uses with Fortune 500 companies at home, and with surprising results.
In the book, you’ll learn to answer questions like:
- What makes my family unique?
- What is my family’s biggest priority–its rallying cry–right now?
- How can my family use the answers to these questions today, next week, and next year?
An indispensable resource for busy professionals with full family lives, The 3 Big Questions for a Frantic Family belongs on the bookshelves of anyone who has ever struggled to balance leading people at work with leading a family unit.
