"As Isaac illustrates in his book, winning enterprises can be built through engaging the employees (hearts, heads, and hands) in the process. It is critical for all professionals, including the support functions not just the line leaders, to realize that productivity will not occur because the CEO wants it to happen but rather because all employees are bought into the strategy."
