The Five Temptations of a CEO: A Leadership Fable Audiobook (Free)

With this stunning business fiction debut, Patrick Lencioni delivers a powerful wake-up call to all of us who dare to lead.

Young, ambitious, and overwhelmed, Andrew O’Brien personifies a part of every leader as he wanders in search of the elusive silver bullet that may propel him to success. He occurs upon an improbable instruction who distills the seemingly infinite list of leadership perils into the five temptations of a CEO. Within an intense and frequently combative exchange, both debate fundamental issues encountered by all leaders — issues regarding personal integrity and performance in the ongoing struggle for success. While some of these topics have already been bandied about in the leadership literature for a long time, here they actually begin to make sense.

Refreshingly original and absolutely compelling, Andrew’s story will serve as a timeless and potent reminder that success like a leader will come right down to practicing several simple behaviors — behaviors that are painfully difficult for each of us to master.
