From how the movement got started, how it's grown since, to how you can get yourself started today each of these books builds on one another to optimize your success. - The Great Game of Business teaches you the principles and practices of the operating system. - Change the Game shows you examples of how well it works. - Get in the Game gives you a game plan for achieving that success for yourself. **Use these books as fuel to finally start turning your business around!** The Higher Laws of Business were introduced in the 1992 book *The Great Game of Business* by Jack Stack and Bo Burlingham. They explain how and why we teach employees to think and act like owners. You won’t find them taught in Harvard University’s MBA Program or the World Dictionary of Business Idioms. Rather, these common-sense laws exist in the minds and souls of people who are street smart and have real-life experience in the world of business. Mention any of these laws and they’ll likely grin and say, "By getting people to think at the highest level, you make it possible for them to perform up to the peak of their abilities." #### Quick Links #### The Great Game of Business 2401 E.
