The Sweet Spot

The timing of this book is perfect, with leaders struggling to find a path forward and to motivate and align the efforts of their teams behind the strategy. And yet, these are the same challenges leaders constantly face, albeit in a less chaotic situation. The lessons learned during the financial crisis should be useful to leaders in all organizations, and the book utilizes the crisis to reflect on how best to integrate the timeless principles of faith into a winning leadership approach.

One does not have to be around Mike for any length of time to observe that this is a way of life for him.
