From the Publisher:
In this unique and groundbreaking book, business consultant and New York Times best-selling author Patrick Lencioni turns his sights on the most important organization in our lives—the family. As a husband and the father of four young boys, Lencioni realized the discrepancy between the time and energy his clients put into running their organizations 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. |
Annotation:
The struggle to raise a family in modern times is a challenge to all. Using a fictionalized fable to teach his lessons, Patrick Lencioni creates a character who tries to bring order to the family circus by introducing a few simple business-like practices, such as regular meetings, and a large group project to give them a shared focus. Lencioni keeps it simple--there are no time cards to punch, no layoffs, and no Dilbertian, pointy-haired managers. But there is common sense at work here, and his Rx might be right for a family on its way to Chapter 11.

"[Patrick Lencioni's] book is a worthwhile if brief attempt to grapple with a particularly thorny problem facing overextended families."
