“The Advantage” by Patrick Lencioni, published in 2012, emphasizes the importance of organizational health as a key driver of success in business. Lencioni presents four core disciplines that leaders can use to improve organizational health and create a strong foundation for their teams:

1. Build a Cohesive Leadership Team: A close-knit leadership team is essential for a healthy organization. This team should be small (3-10 people) and exhibit five core ingredients: trust, constructive conflict, commitment, accountability, and results. Trust allows vulnerability, conflict leads to constructive debates, commitment ensures alignment, and accountability drives performance.
2. Create Clarity: Leaders must ensure that everyone in the organization understands the core purpose, values, and strategic priorities. Clarity eliminates confusion and aligns everyone toward common goals.
3. Overcommunicate Clarity: Repetition is key. Leaders should consistently communicate the organization’s purpose, values, and priorities through various channels¹.
