Why do some companies consistently win in the marketplace while others struggle from crisis to crisis? The answer, says Noel tichy, is that winning companies possess a "Leadership Engine"—a proven system for creating dynamic leaders at every level.

Winning companies develop leaders with teachable points of view that they use to foster the abilities of others in four critical areas:

• Developing good business ideas
• Instilling values that support the successful implementation of those ideas
• Generating positive energy in themselves and others
• Making tough decisions
