Leading Strategies Publishes ‘Expected End’ to Improve Corporate Culture

Leading Strategies LLC just released the book ‘Expected End: What Culture Is, Why It Matters and How to Improve It’ (available at www.leadingstrategies.net). Written by former F-15 pilot and leadership coach Mike Friesen, the new book presents a simple yet powerful model on how to better understand, predict and improve organizational culture. Expected End’ makes a compelling case for creating great culture to produce outstanding results.

The ‘Expected End’ model contains five major parts:

• Mindsets – Finding, diagnosing and refining;
• Theories – Determining how to deal with the mindsets;
• Application – Translating grand plans into action;
• Balance – Sustaining success by using heart, mind, effort, and legacy;
• Timeless Principles – Using the essential core of the ‘Expected End’ model.

Early in the book, author Mike Friesen says, “Mindsets are always the entry point for growth in the ‘Expected End’ model. If we do not consider mindsets, everything else is short-term behavior modification at best and pointless academics at the worst.” Mike then expands on the argument of why mindsets are so critical in creating better organizations of any size.

‘Expected End’ carefully walks the reader through the significance and elements of theories, application and balance. This progression moves from how we see to what we do with what we see. The final portion of the book looks at timeless principles and their significance. “Timeless principles play a pivotal role in developing an undeniable level of effectiveness and form the core of the ‘Expected End’ model. Without a timeless core, the theory of this book collapses.” Mike wraps up his book by exploring the importance of responsiveness to self, others and the environment. For those wanting to have positive impact on culture, ‘Expected End’ is an essential tool.

‘Expected End’ is written for anyone aspiring to be a better leader in family or business settings. The book is available in hardcover, paperback or electronic formats through Lulu Publishing (www.lulu.com) and will soon be in other retail outlets.
