Ryan sets the stage: most leaders he works with are wrestling with growth that has outpaced their processes, or with misaligned teams that leave employees frustrated and disengaged. This book is a collection of stories and questions designed to help you reflect on your organization's Purpose, Product, Performance, People, and Process — and to give you simple, powerful templates to align and focus your team.

Key idea: When the five elements work together, energy and engagement propel your "rocket" in the right direction.
