What are we reading? The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else in Business.
- by Patrick Lencioni
Why don’t more organizations invest the time, energy, and effort needed to build high-impact leadership teams?
It’s a fair question—especially when decades of research and real-world experience consistently show that high-functioning organizations, led by aligned and collaborative leadership teams, outperform their peers in nearly every measurable way.
Yet many organizations struggle to make this a priority. One of the biggest reasons is the relentless pull of short-term demands. Leaders become consumed by daily crises, compliance deadlines, and the constant pressure to deliver quick wins. When everything feels urgent, it becomes easy to overlook what is truly important.
This reactive environment creates a culture where leaders feel compelled to “do it all,” leaving little space for the deeper work of building trust, strengthening relationships, and developing a shared leadership rhythm. Ironically, these are the very practices that create long-term stability, clarity, and performance.
Cohesive leadership doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intentionality, protected time, and a commitment from every leader to invest in the health of the team—not just the tasks of the moment!
👉 Quick Action Step:
At your next leadership meeting, ask your team: Are our meetings focused on reports and daily crises, or on building trust and working better together? Decide on one change that will make your meetings healthier and more intentional.
