The 3 Big Questions for a Frantic Family

I love Patrick Lencioni! His writing is so much fun! Even books he writes that don't apply to me are still fun to read.

This book, however, more than hit the spot. It really is ingenious in its basic premise. A consultant makes the comment to his wife "if my clients ran their companies the way we run this family, they would be fired." This causes his wife to research the basic consulting techniques her husband uses and apply them to her family.

So the three big questions are:

What makes your family unique? (talk about purpose, values, strategy for how you do family)

What is your family's top priority right now? (what is the rallying cry for the next 2-6 months?)

How to you talk about and use the answers to these questions? (what is your plan for measuring success?)

The book took me about 2 hours to read and I read every single word. The appendices are great and I hope Amy and I are able to work through this process together in the next couple of weeks.
