Patrick Lencioni, author of ten business books with nearly three million copies sold, includingThe Five Dysfunctions of a Team, opened the morning at the Global Leadership Summit. Here are my highlights from his talk.

• “Organizational health is the single greatest competitive advantage in business.”
• Healthy Organizations = Smart + Healthy
• “People need to be reminded more than they need to be instructed.”
• “If we want to change our organizations today, we have to make them healthy.”
• “You have to build a cohesive leadership team at the top.”
• “Every organization at its core has to know why it’s there.”
• “A core value is something you’re willing to get punished for.”
• “It’s not unchristian to reject a job applicant who is not a great fit.”
• “Every decision you make is part of your strategy.”
• “All things to all people.” = “Nothing to no one.”
• “I wish organizational health was a standard.”
