For years I have wanted to find a book I could enthusiastically recommend to people in search of the key elements peculiar to building enduring, great professional firms. Finally, that book exists.

Jay Lorsch and Tom Tierney are sometimes iconoclastic, often provocative, and always, always informative.

With clear principles and many stimulating examples, this well-written book will provoke reflection and debate among professional firm leaders.
