This is a book about performance and human performance cannot excel if we are unhealthy. Far too many of our most important teams—from our families to our work units—are unhealthy and weak. What is to blame? Being nice!

Discover what it really means for ourselves and for our teams when we choose to settle for nice. Nice too often brings out the worst humanity has to offer—cowardice, passivity, and the shortsightedness of accepting bad behavior. This is no way to lead. This is no way to build cohesive and high-performing teams.
