The One Year, Thirty Minute Business Transformation: Fifty-two, thirty-minute exercises to make your organization healthier, your employees more engag

"Though the book is intelligent, dense, and brimming with serious information, the tone is engaging, approachable, and supportive, almost as if readers are meeting with a seasoned mentor committed to their success." - A pre-publication review

This plain-talking book is a bit of accountability sitting on your desk or eBook reader. It bids you to step away from all the things that constantly clamor for your attention and spend thirty minutes a week on organization health. It covers a lot of territory-annoying problems that nip at your heels daily, complex problems that keep you up at night, and organizational disciplines that you know deep down aren't quite where you want them to be. It's not high-minded theory. It's practical and actionable. It asks hard questions and provokes deep thought about your personal and professional growth, the growth of your team, the kind of organization you want to be, and about the tools and methodologies you're using to increase revenues, decrease costs, and fatten up the bottom line. It helps you strike the right balance between being and doing.

Each chapter lays out the case for shoring up an important discipline in your organization followed by an exercise to help you build it out. Some are people focused, some are process focused. Some are customer facing, some are employee facing. Some build hard skills, some build soft skills. Part of the challenge of being a successful business owner is that you must master every skill and competence needed in the entire organization.

A companion website, http: //oneyearthirtyminute.com/, gives you additional resources to complete the exercises
