David Novak learned long ago that you can't lead a great organization of any size without getting your people aligned, enthusiastic, and focused relentlessly on the mission. But how do you do that? Not with leadership platitudes or business school theories. Managers will never make big things happen until they learn how to get people on their side. No skill in business is more important. Novak has developed a trademarked program he calls Taking People with You. He presents a step-by-step guide to setting big goals, getting people to work together, blowing past your targets, and celebrating after you shock the skeptics. And then doing it again and again until consistent excellence becomes a core element of your culture.--From publisher description.
