"One of Silicon Valley's top leadership trainers distills his proven framework that has empowered teams at the world's most innovative companies--from Google and Facebook to Cisco Systems and biotech giant Genentech/Roche--to do the best work of their lives.
Richard Lee has worked with thousands of ambitious leaders and their teams, and has found that they all share the same frustration. Whether it's because of communication breakdowns or systemic complexity, people at every level of an organization feel like their results fall short of their expectations--even though they are putting in a lot of effort.
Management gurus will tell you that you need to overhaul your entire organization in order to maximize its full potential, but that is simply not true: You only to give your people the tools to succeed inside it.
The framework outlined in Work That Counts draws on examples from teams he has worked with at the world's most cutting edge, disruptive companies, and provides practical solutions to the problems that hold people back in nearly every organization. Among other crucial skills, you'll learn:
• How a team leader can hold team members accountable without micromanaging--and what team members need to do concurrently to earn the team leader's trust.
• How to get support for your objectives from other teams, even when they don't report to you or your division or your business unit.
• How to partner with others, within your team and on other teams, to achieve the results you want.
Work That Counts is a commonsense yet groundbreaking guide, filled with assessments and real-world examples that will empower organizations to make the most of their people and become more than the sum of their parts.

"People need a creed and a cause, and today millions of patriotic Americans are finding their voices. They say the best indicator of the future is history. How things have been can be a powerful signal of how they will be. But what will be our role in shaping the future for this country? In The Coming Revolution Dr Richard G. Lee powerfully explains that a new revolution is coming. It may be in the streets of our nation’s capitol—as we saw in Europe last year—or, better yet, in voting booths across America. Signs from our nation’s past and present ring out the truth: a second American revolution is near at hand. Using this country’s rich heritage of liberty and democracy as a roadmap toward where we could be headed, Dr. Lee brings thoughtful clarity to the ever-growing probability of such a revolution in America; illuminating the important reminder that the voices of every revolution have been—and always will be—the ordinary everyman. Discover how you can be a part of this country’s social, political, and moral reform and how faith in God serves as the one truth that can provide both individual and national guidance for America’s next revolution. “A powerful reminder about why America is great and worth fighting for.”—Lt. Colonel Oliver L. North, USMC (Ret.) “Within this book Dr. Richard Lee clearly reveals how the intolerable conditions being forced upon the American people by Washington’s current administration will lead to a certain and powerful explosion of predictable consequences.”—Michael Reagan"
