The Genesis Enterprise: Creating Peak-to-Peak Performance by Jim Tompkins changed the way thousands of companies managed their business. Now revised, re-edited, re-formatted, re-focused, and re-titled, Revolution: Take Charge Strategies for Business Success is positioned to guide another generation of business leaders to the peaks of performance excellence. Jim Tompkins shows the correlation between revolution and change in the business environment, explaining how leaders implementing change must understand the five factors of revolution:

• Revolution is never a spur of the moment decision; it is a process, and in a true revolutionary scenario, a continuous process.
• Revolution aspires to a higher level of existence.
• Revolution is typically a grassroots effort, but is tempered by its leaders.
• Revolution involves more than simply reorganizing existing fortresses. It involves transforming the culture within which those fortresses reside.
• If revolution is ever to move from the drawing table to execution, there must be absolute alignment.

Jim Tompkins then gives a clear, practical path forward. He shows how to effectively lead a revolution in the three key areas of organizational excellence: Leadership, Collaboration, and Compensation.
