Setting the pace

What if your management team worked like a professional cycling team?

In the corporate peloton, many leadership teams ride like solo cyclists. They pedal hard, but miss the power of true collaboration.
Finding the Right Course is a refreshing business novel about organizational change, leadership, and team development. An inspiring story about the power — and necessity — of a strong management team.
Luc Berg, a seasoned manager, faces the ultimate challenge: saving a well-known camper manufacturer from collapse. The owner is ill, the management team burned out, and bankruptcy looms. When Luc teams up with Elise Vermeer, director of a professional cycling team, a powerful alliance is born. Together, they translate principles from elite sports into business practice — but not everyone welcomes change.
 Can they transform the leadership team in time to save the company?
"It's a team effort," Elise says, stepping up beside me. Her eyes follow the group as they switch lead riders.
 "You have to use each other's strengths and pace yourselves wisely. If you pull too long at the front, you don't just burn yourself out — you burn out the entire team."
