Abstract:
Strategic Business Transformation The seven deadly sins to overcome What can Gandhi, Mother Teresa and Nelson Mandela teach us about running businesses that face transformation in their markets. This book courageously offers that businesses that transform markets or respond to transformation know that they must transform themselves before  they transform others.  Great companies find a cause greater than themselves, organizes this cause into executable momentum and conquers the imagination of the market.  Transforming your business requires a recipe powered by a cause not missions.  Read and see how and why.
