The challenge here, as I see it, is that this might appear to many owners of small businesses as a super-sized sales brochure for the author's services. I have a strong consistent track record in business -- I have tried 12 times,, and failed 12 times. But then, I am not really a "people person" in the sense of wanting to wallow in the challenge of frequent meetings and being "motivated" by carefully crafted and well implemented structured programs. My preferences would be 5 minute informational meetings -- even daily -- followed by being left alone to get my work done. But then, I also do not hang around the water cooler and chat with other employees. So my three stars was not a complaint about the book, it's author, or the ideas in it. Rather is was a simple statement that this is nor for everyone!

This is by far the best format for delivering business literature I have found yet. I am an avid fan of audible, and it has been my medium for consuming the constant barrage of business literature. However, as most will agree, there aren't many new ideas on business topics, and the majority of new books hitting the market are a regurgitation of old ideas, dressed up a little differently (i.e. marketing genius :), but lengthy). Unfortunately, time is a valuable commodity, and it has become my frustration to try and remain current with the new business literature, but having to invest countless hours to do so.

This review was incredible! When I first investigated reading "The Advantage" by Patrick Lencioni, I thought it was about principles implemented by health organizations (like hospitals) and how they succeed above others. But this review by Instaread clarified that organizational health is the maturity and strength of companies and organizations. Lencioni argues that many companies focus on principles of business to try and succeed, such as finance, strategy, marketing, and technology. But really, what companies should focus on is the health of their organization. How united are their employees? Is their communication clear and concise? What motivates their organization to succeed? When properly applied, a healthy organization succeeds because of their united strength, not because of their mastery of business practices.

Organizations need to be two things to succeed: be smart and be healthy. The vast majority of books and consultants focus on how to be smart. But Lencioni's experience is that organizations rarely fail because the people weren't smart or hadn't chosen a strategy. In fact, many people blame failure on "dumb" decisions that when examined reveal themselves to be failures of trust or clarity. He asks, what advantage does a healthy organization have over an unhealthy one? And this book (which is not a fable like his other books) walks through the key decisions and traits needed to be healthy--to have your own advantage. It's well written and crucial. A must read for a leader in any field.
