We make leading people way too difficult. We make culture ever harder.
Most executives today agree with the connection between a great culture and great perfornance. The consulting world is awash with solutions and methods. There are myriad assessments that boast of being the key that will turn the lock of the mystery of what motivates people, what propels them to great performance, what combines to shape a culture where people cannot wait to grow and learn and achieve.
We keep thinking there is something “out there” that will crack the code.
Maybe it’s time to look inside.
As different as we all may be, people only really need a few things as people -- as human beings -- to respond to leadership and do great things.
So many companies have their values statements framed on a wall or on desk plaques, and those statements are useful -- if nothing else, the exercise of coming up with them invites good discussions and focus on how the business wants to conduct itself inside and out. They are aspirational statements about the business, but do they speak to the heart of each person? What makes people do great work? What makes people devote their heart and soul and mind to the mission of the enterprise?
While it has been wrongly attributed to Leonardo de Vinci, we are familiar with the statement: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Driving to simplify something as sophisticated as understanding human performance does not always sate the ego. It’s can’t be that easy. No, it’s not. I never said getting to simplicity is easy; it is damn hard most of the time. Nonetheless, I believe there is a simplicity around this quest that has been there all along.
That’s what this book is about -- three basic things that go back to our childhood and never really leave us, no matter our age or station in life.
Drawing the best out of people is hard only because we don’t believe or trust that it’s that simple. This book might change your mind.
And change your whole notion of great leadership.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ThriftBooks-Atlanta, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
