The Perfect Company is a successful growth business named after its founder Steven Perfect, whose name has grown to become its mission as well. And for Tom Barnham and Kathy Wong, beleaguered managers at nearby PeopleFirst Software, a visit to The Perfect Company helps them see their problems in a light that they have never seen them before - one that ultimately transforms the morale and performance of their organization.

At The Perfect Company, Tom and Kathy discover four secrets that drive their operations: Perfect Teamwork, Perfect Coaching, Perfect Performance, and Perfect Communications. But they also learn the core value that is central to its business as a children's software publisher - think like a child - a principle that ultimately affects Tom and Kathy's company in ways that they never imagined.

This simple but powerful story will teach you the real secrets of creating a high-performance organization, by unlocking your own team's motivation to build self-sustaining levels of success that no amount of rules or policies will ever create. Based on the real life best practices of leading organizations worldwide, The Perfect Company represents a clear game plan to create your own perfect company, in organizations of any size.
