The financial health of your organization depends on it! Bernie Haffey's Cutting Through is a comprehensive exploration into the nuances of the key high performance management systems that turn good companies into great ones!
SUCCESS BEGINS WITH A SYSTEM!
Doctors, mechanics, pilots ... What do all of these professionals have in common? Simple: each operates within the framework of an established set of principles that guides all they do. Just as you wouldn't build a house by first tacking on a roof, you can't expect your business to flourish without understanding the underlying mechanisms that drive it.
You need a foundation, an order, a system.
Cutting Through is the blueprint to discovering and optimizing that system. The ideological quicksand of leadership trial-by-fire is gone. The best businesses of tomorrow will need to be equipped with a robust management system that drives performance from the ground up! How do you get there? Here's a hint: you can't intuit it; it's going to take some work.
Eliminate, simplify, and optimize your internal processes to achieve breakthrough business results!

To avenge the death of his father, a US Navy SEAL leads a counterstrike against Al-Qaeda.
Saudi-trained Al-Qaeda launches an attack on Camp Delta, the terrorist prison facility at US Naval Base, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The assault mirrors not only the brutality and sophistication of the assault that killed his father but mimics the SEAL's own tactics. Lieutenant Commander Grant Chisolm must outsmart the head of the fanatical movement, Shakir Amir.
Chisolm prepares his men to stop an attack he's expecting to come from the water. When he realizes he's about to clash with Al-Qaeda forces coming from all directions and wearing suicide vests-2:00 AM is the scheduled detonation time-he crosses international borders and confronts Cuban forces as well as those of Shakir Amir.
Hours later, his forces slaughtered, a badly wounded Amir, bleeding and delusional, floats off the coast of Guantanamo.

In a world where I had no say, violence became my refuge. Nothing else mattered, not even my own life, until her: Skyler Bell. It all started the first time I heard that voice, giving me hope for tomorrow. My first love was everything all at once-consuming, maddening, forever, mine. Except I never imagined there were secrets that needed to be shared, lies that needed to be confessed, truths that needed to be told, demons that needed to be buried. Once I realized that the depth, the longing, and the sadness and sorrow in her eyes mirrored my own, it was too late. Love didn't come to me as heartbreak; it came as everything I'd ever desired. Walking away wasn't an option I wanted; it was the only one I had. I finally found the price of love, and it cost me my soul.
