You'll discover how to create targets and visions based on the 'triple bottom line', and make sure people know who you are, where you're going, and the values that will guide your journey. This book extends Blanchard's breakthrough work on delivering legendary customer service, creating 'raving fans,' and building 'Partnerships for Performance' that empower everyone who works for and with you. Updated throughout, this new edition contains two powerful, important new chapters: one on coaching to create higher-level leaders, and another on creating a higher-level culture throughout your organization.
