<p>The business and personal messages in this second book of the In a Nutshell Series are:</p>

<ul>
<li>Collaboration is created, not simply given.</li>
<li>Create what you want to be and how you want to live.</li>
<li>Development starts with confrontation.</li>
<li>Development does not happen overnight.</li>
<li>Don&rsquo;t wait for chaos to arrive before you formulate a plan.</li>
<li>Last-minute preparation only reduces the level of vulnerability.</li>
<li>Success comes from learning from your failures.</li>
</ul>
