Using candid, no-nonsense language, he pinpoints the one element that can turn a mediocre company into a great one . . . the one element that can enlighten and energize ordinary firms so that they accomplish extraordinary things--Climate! Executives will find here not fanciful theories but tough-minded principles. -Principles that have been tested and proved in the marketplace and in the executive suite. -Principles that will help managers everywhere to understand the way of their jobs. -Principles that will help managers to develop and, in fact, settle for nothing less than employees who welcome responsibility and the challenge of contributing to company profits.
