ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

irst and foremost, I would like to thank my coauthor, Paul
FFriga. This book discusses the virtues of teamwork at length,
and I can think of no better example of successful teamwork than
our collaboration. This book is much stronger for it. He has
pushed my thinking in new and productive directions; I trust he
can say the same of me. —Ethan M. Rasiel

Without question, the first acknowledgment goes to my coau-
thor, Ethan Rasiel. First, he graciously brought me into the process
after already achieving great success with his solo effort on his first
book, The McKinsey Way. Second, he offered incredible insight,
enthusiasm, and direction. And third, he taught me lessons in per-
sistence, storytelling, and unselfishness. —Paul N. Friga

The authors owe thanks to many without whom this book
would not be in your hands. First, their agent, Daniel Greenberg at
James Levine Communications, Inc.; their editor, Mary Glenn;
Katherine Hinkebein; and the entire team at McGraw-Hill who
made this book a reality. Joe Burton, Simon Carne, Jerry Friga, Ed
