All In - How Great Leaders Develop a Culture of Belief and Deliver Big Results
'- The Dilemma: While most leaders understand their most reliable competitive advantage comes from their people, few know how to get their teams "all in"—convincing employees to buy into the strategy they've put forward.

If a culture is dysfunctional—chaotic, combative or indifferent—employees will spend more time thinking about why the people sitting next to them should be fired than getting fired up themselves.
