About the Author.

Absorbing, compelling, and utterly memorable, The Five Temptations of a CEO was like no other business book that came before. Highly sought after management consultant Patrick Lencioni deftly told the tale of a young CEO who, facing his first annual board review, knows he is failing, but doesn t know why.
