Your Hidden Game

Sharon Rich

You Can’t Win a Hidden Game

 

There is a hidden game being played in your business. It is made up of the unspoken rules, unquestioned assumptions, and the invisible agreements that define how your organization operates. When you don’t know the hidden game exists, it runs you and your business. You aren’t playing the game—the game is playing you.

In Your Hidden Game, business consultant and CEO of Think Business Growth, Sharon Rich, shows you how to bring these invisible agreements out on the table, shine a light on them, and work out new agreements together. Sharon identifies the ten agreements that are most essential to success in any business and lays out a roadmap for bringing your team into alignment so they can execute at higher and higher levels of performance.

Sharon shares real stories from the front lines of her client businesses that demonstrate where organizational behavior goes awry and what leaders can do to get their teams on track toward their desired outcomes.

Simply put, by becoming aware of the hidden games being played in your business and intentionally reworking the rules, you’ll find yourself playing a new and more successful game.
