Most interestingly they all have one common answer.

Yet somehow it largely remains a criminally overlooked aspect in many businesses. This book looks at why the culture is the single most critical aspect of any business; how it provides the answers to all of these questions; and why it needs to be the first thing addressed in any business strategy.</p>
