The Reality Principle
No organization escapes challenges forever. Even the greatest eventually face change and crisis. But difficulty is a gift, a chance not just to survive but to exploit challenges with the power of passion.
This booklet provides 10 keys for building a reality-based organization, an organization that relentlessly faces daunting facts and processes them into sources of competitive advantage. And if your organization is up against the wall, this essential handbook will show you how to convert a crisis mindset into a quest for vital truth, how to use crisis to increase the passion of your people, and how to make the counterintuitive moves that will bring your organization out of crisis stronger than ever.
