This chapter examines the Parthenon Principle, which compares
the building and maintenance of your career or business to the great
architectural creation of the ancient Greeks. It does so by identifying
the seven core foundational systems or pillars on which your
business is built. The Application Exercise at the end of this chapter
is designed to lead you through the process of identifying
the key actions you can take to ensure the health and stability
of your organization or business.
