The Motive by Patrick Lencioni Summary

Lencioni thrusts his listeners into a day-long conversation between rival CEOs.

With nowhere else to turn, Shay receives some hard-to-swallow advice from the most unlikely and unwanted source - Liam Alcott, CEO of a more successful security company and his most hated opponent. ©2020 Patrick M.
