These two authors have created a magnificent work of both practical and transformational knowledge in leadership with the how to that so often is missing from books on leadership. Their approach to culture building makes clear the importance of aligning values with not only words, but actions that leaders must deliver with authenticity and presence. The analogy with architecture and infrastructure is visually brilliant, as we are building cultures to stand the test of time and weather the elements of unpredictability and complexity.
