"This book is not about one unique company, its innovation, and the financial returns it achieved; it's about the quantifiable, success-based pattern - independent of economic cycles or industries shared across this group of 387 elite companies. It's about how you can use seven common essentials to better your business, organization, team, or yourself and produce exponential growth. It's about executing the essentials and linking them. It's about taking the actions that matter while avoiding pitfalls."--Jacket.
