I just finished reading “The Four Obsession of an Extraordinary Executive” by Patrick Lencioni and must say that I really enjoyed it, as I have with all his books. Without further adieu, here are the four obsessions:

1. Build and maintain a cohesive leadership team
2. Create organizational clarity
3. Over-communicate organizational clarity
4. Reinforce organizational clarity through human systems

At Hannon Hill, we had a leadership meeting for seven hours straight on a single day last month to create our organization clarity document. It isn’t a document of what we want to be, but rather a document that articulates what we already are, so that we can hold ourselves accountable, and provide a clear position of where we stand as a company. I would highly recommend it for any leadership team.
