Simple & Excellent
(SAN FRANCISCO, CA United States) July 21, 2002 - 5.0/5 stars

This book is excellent. Lencioni does a superb job at making tangible the sometimes-elusive art of management and leadership.

Having a finance / accounting background and now working in general management I always find the "soft stuff" (HR, organizational development, management, leadership) is really the "hard stuff" (as opposed to finance, engineering, programming, etc.).

Lencioni's success is based in the fact that he unequivocally understands, as he states, "The ultimate test of a great team is results".

While many authors and management tacticians obfuscate the skill of management through complex theory and practices Lencioni brings clarity.

Very similar to Jim Collin's "Good to Great", the beauty of this book can be summed up in its third to last line:

"Success is not a matter of mastering subtle, sophisticated theory, but rather of embracing common sense with uncommon level of discipline and persistence."
