"One of the most practical guides to the nuts and bolts of building an organization that I have ever read." --Patrick Lencioni, Author of The Five Temptations of a CEO An awesome organization is what every business aspires to be: profitable, growth-oriented--the kind of company where the most talented people want to work. But how do you build an awesome organization? This book provides the answers. Drawing on the resources of the Kauffman Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership and more than 500 successful entrepreneurs, authors Katherine Catlin and Jana Matthews explain how to assess the overall health of your company with an overview quiz.
