How To Get The Most Out Of This Book
We have written this book primarily for four groups of business professionals:
-
senior leaders motivated to guide their core team toward unanimity and beyond
-
trusted advisors to senior leaders and their direct reports
-
facilitators who work with senior leaders on change management initiatives, and
-
any student of business who is building competencies for the day they will participate in senior leadership activities.
The seven assumptions that shape how we go about aligning senior teams to move their enterprise toward greater levels of adept business execution open this outline. We then summarize each chapter. Finally, we include key sources informing the evolution of each of those Seven Assumptions.
This book conveys a powerful story and method for guiding Senior Leadership to dramatically improving organizational results. We refer to this method as Ballard's Alignment and Reporting Disciplines (BARD).
