<p><b>A gripping tale that reveals what occupies the minds of the world’s best business leaders</b></p> <p>As CEO, most everything that Rich O'Connor did had something to do with at least one of the four disciplines on his famed "yellow sheet." Some of the firm's executives joked that he was obsessed with it.</p> <p>Interestingly, only a handful of people knew what was on that sheet, and so it remained something of a mystery. Which was okay with Rich, because no one really needed to understand it, other than him. He certainly never suspected that it would become the blueprint of an employee's plan to destroy the firm.</p> <p>In this stunning follow-up to his best-selling book, <i>The Five Temptations of a CEO,</i> Patrick Lencioni offers up another leadership fable that's every bit as compelling and illuminating as its predecessor.</p> <p>This time, Lencioni's focus is on a leader's crucial role in building a healthy organization - an often overlooked but essential element of business life that is the linchpin of sustained success.</p> <p>Readers are treated to a story of corporate intrigue as Rich O'Connor, fictional CEO of technology consulting company Telegraph Partners, faces a leadership challenge so great that it threatens to topple his company, his career and everything he holds true about what makes a leader truly exceptional.</p> <p>In the story's telling, Lencioni deftly helps his readers understand the disarming simplicity and power of creating a healthy organization and reveals four key disciplines that they can follow to achieve it.</p> <p>In <i>The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive</i>, Lencioni delivers an utterly gripping tale with a powerful and memorable message for all who strive to be remarkable leaders.</p>
