Humor me for a moment and mentally detach yourself from your day-today details. Forget all your pre-existing beliefs about how to run your organization. Now imagine a bird's-eye view of your business and look down on it from above. What do you see?

You're reading this book because you want your organization to be solid and well-run. You've already achieved a certain degree of success, and now you're ready for the next level. However, with this challenge comes a new set of obstacles; sheer will and brute force are no longer enough to survive. The question you're facing now is a new one: How can you elevate yourself to a position of true leadership?

What if I told you that by reading this book and applying its core principles, you could eliminate all of your business-related frustrations? That you could have great employees at all levels who share your vision, communicate with each other, solve their own problems, and demonstrate accountability? That your organization could not only run seamlessly, but also have the potential to scale up as large as you see fit?
