This seems like a helpful framework for getting parents on the same page and upholding the same priorities. Will come back and edit this review depending on how we do!

Not Lencioni's best work, but a valiant effort in translating his business principles to home life. I definitely think there is value in having a family strategy, but having a giant whiteboard in the kitchen isn't for everyone.

3.5 ....read it for work. Interesting concept but nothing groundbreaking.

3.5 stars. Our staff read this book as a way to think about our church as a family organization. The family approach here is more helpful for a church setting than the corporate tone of the other books. I also think this might be a good tool for a parenting series. The fable itself was clearly “stretched” to make it book length, and would have been more helpful if it had been shorter (and less cliched.)

It took us forever to get through this because the first 106 pages aren’t important! Start at Page 107; everything from there to the end (Page ~200) is high-value, practical application content. Friends: I have a fillable document that I’m happy to share, if you’re interested.

Domestic management and Leadership.
Your family members need context to operate in harmony with one another.
The most valuable context they can have includes:
What makes the family unique? Think values.
What is the most important thing to accomplish in the next two to six months?
What is your process for keeping everyone on the same page?
The book goes into a lot more detail.

I've discovered that Pat Lencioni's books are about the only books in the "management philosophy" genre that I can stomach...and even, dare I say it, enjoy. 3 Big Questions for the Frantic Family was even more enjoyable than his 3 Virtues of the Team Player book. It's almost scary how well some of his observations in this book fit our family. In fact, the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I'm kind of scared to try the program described in the book. But I'm even more scared of NOT trying it, if that makes any sense.

The first two thirds of the book are a ‘fable’ about the creation of the question that was not necessary or at least not worthy of 2/3rds of the book.

Such an informative book I've read after so long. A light read as well. I really wish people do pay attention to their families and the way author highlighted the importance of the presence and involvement of both parents in their children's lives. It gives motivation and determination to families to work on themselves and succeed in achieving their family goals.
