    About this audiobook

    After focusing on topics ranging from teamwork and leadership to employee engagement and meetings New York Times best-selling author Patrick Lencioni has finally turned his attention toward his own craft-consulting and client service. Tapping into the simple but powerful model that his firm, The Table Group, has been built on, Lencioni presents what may be his most engaging, humorous audiobook yet.

    Getting Naked tells the remarkable story of a management consultant who is trying desperately to merge two firms with very different approaches to serving clients. One relies on vulnerability and complete transparency; the other focuses on proving its competence and protecting its reputation for intellectual prowess. In the process of managing the merger, the consultant is forced to learn life-changing lessons that prove to be as relevant as they are painful.

    As he does in his other audiobooks, Lencioni provides readers with concepts that are accessible and compelling. He explains the three fears that provoke service providers to unknowingly sabotage their ability to build trust and loyalty. And, as always, Lencioni provides a practical approach for overcoming those fears.

      good ideas. got recommended to me by a smart guy. a simple alan weis. enjoyable and easy to get and read.
    • 5/5
      So good! Even though this is marketed in the business world, as a pastor I found Mini applicable points throughout the story and the model that was presented. The fable is a well crafted story that keeps the attention the entire time, while also teaching the principles that the book is founded upon. It's no wonder that it's powerful, Jesus taught using stories and we're still examining those stories today.
    • 5/5
      This is a must read if you offer professional services. The information in this book, told in a story format, will help you many times over.
    • 1/5
      storytelling. not worth for consultants. may be good for others
