Leading Strategies Publishes ‘Expected End’ to Improve Corporate Culture

Leading Strategies LLC released the book ‘Expected End: What Culture Is, Why It Matters and How to Improve It’ (available at Amazon.com). Written by former F-15 pilot Mike Friesen, this exciting, change management 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. Using many real world stories, common sense words and easy-to-understand diagrams, the model walks through five major parts:

1.  Mindsets – Find, diagnose and refine
2.  Theories – Determine how to deal with the mindsets
3.  Application – Translate grand plans into action
4.  Balance – Sustain success by using heart, mind, effort, and legacy
5.  Timeless Principles – Use 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 moves 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 a 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 and is available in hardcover, paperback and electronic formats. Buy the book here.
