The world is privy to failing Fortune 100 companies, and regulators investigating often find systemic failures. These blind spots can be fixed by elevated awareness. The author provides numerous examples of these blind spots that corporate board members and operating leaders inadvertently miss out on — due to a compliance mindset. A transactional mindset often consumes professionals, and this fascinating book provides depth and context endorsed by business leaders of today for the business leaders of tomorrow.
The occurrence of systemic corporate failure is not new to news headlines. “Success is a long road ascending to a pinnacle of dizzying heights. Reaching there and sustaining on the top is not easy. A fall from success can be very steep, quick, and fatal. News headlines are certain when guardrails and safety nets don’t exist — the norms of how things get executed manifest in the accepted ways of doing business. When one is immune to new ways — a complacent mindset silently arrives.” — states Satyendra Kumar in the opening chapter of the book.
This seminal book is for board members, leaders, managers, and development professionals for every company, where long-term success and building organizational capabilities are relevant priorities for leaders.
