It is written as a story, but it is built as a framework. At the center of the book is a question most executives already carry: Why does it still feel this hard when the talent is clearly there? The answer, in almost every case, is not a people problem. It is an environment problem. And environment is something a leader can build. The parable format is intentional.

But when the job goes wrong and I'm bleeding out on a rooftop above Kowloon, he doesn't run. He carries me. He should have left me. I would have left him.

From David Allan Galloway, bestselling author of Safety WALK Safety TALK, comes a powerful new look at how workplace behavior is shaped long before an incident occurs.
