Kathryn Petersen has just taken over as chief executive of DecisionTech, and within her first weeks she is already doubting her choice.

Told as a fable, the story follows her efforts through a run of hard situations. Alongside it, the book works as a practical handbook, setting out five behavioural patterns that keep even strong teams from working well, along with a step-by-step approach for addressing them. This anniversary edition adds a fresh foreword from the author reflecting on the ideas' lasting relevance.
