Building Commitment is a logical follow-on to the author's Making and Fulfilling Your Dreams as a Leader (2014). There are two imperatives for building and sustaining a successful organization. The first imperative is architecting a sound strategy. The second imperative is to build a work culture that fosters genuine commitment that inspires the people who can make it happen to strive to achieve shared aspirations.

Making and Fulfilling Your Dreams as a Leader addressed the first imperative. This book addresses the second imperative. It equips the leader with practical and proven concepts, structures, and tools to foster genuine commitment. It is written for leaders in all business sectors and at all organizational levels.
