Riding the Blue Train  (English, Paperback, Sayle Bart)

Build your people first—a groundbreaking management idea that has helped hundreds of companies transform their organizations and jump-start their results

How does a $2 billion company become a $5 billion company in a few years? How do rival divisions overcome their animosity to achieve a common goal? How do you use inspiration and personal power to lead your organization to achieve extraordinary results?

All through the power of Breakthrough, the unique program that Bart Sayle and Surinder Kumar have delivered to thousands of people at companies like P&G, Nike, Visa, Pepsi, Wrigley, and British Airways to help them achieve dramatic growth and innovation.

They offer a simple but profound message: In order to build your business, first you need to build your people. Instead of imposing a new strategy from the top down, focus on unleashing creativity from the bottom up. Get everyone excited about a common goal, listen to their best ideas, and focus their energy.

When that happens, your people will get off the “red train” of defensiveness, negativity, and anger. Instead, they’ll start riding the “blue train” of empowerment, enthusiasm, and teamwork—and amazing results will follow.

Easier said than done? Riding the Blue Train features dramatic success stories from clients who have applied these principles in the real world. These companies spend thousands of dollars and months in the training room with Sayle and Kumar. This book affords everyone from new managers to CEOs the opportunity to learn these methods, incorporate them into their own corporate culture, and experience Breakthrough results in their own time.

An inspiring book, Riding the Blue Train will change the way you think about corporate culture, leadership, and growth.
