This review is from: Lead the Way: Charting a Course to Win (Hardcover)

Greg's process creates a safe environment where important, difficult issues affecting the organization's performance can be discussed. Everyone knows what those issues are, but it can be hard to talk about them because of egos, feelings and attitudes. Greg's approach to planning helps us talk about it in a non-threatening way in order to dissect the tough issues and then go to work on them as a team.
