Noncompetitive pay. Long hours. Frequent moves. Mortal danger. With drawbacks such as these, it's a wonder that anyone would willingly want to join the Federal Bureau of Investigation. And yet the FBI consistently attracts a vast field of stellar candidates and awards the best and brightest with extraordinarily dangerous missions, including breaking up terrorist cells, infiltrating drug cartels, diffusing hostage situations, and tracking down serial killers.

What drives these men and women to cheerfully and diligently tackle the monumental challenges that await career FBI agents? Author Dan Carrison goes behind the scenes of this legendary organization to uncover its secrets of success, including its unique management strategies for hiring, training, and retaining agents. Based on interviews with agents at every level, From the Bureau to the Boardroom pinpoints powerful lessons that can be applied directly to business to cultivate and sustain higher levels of employee performance, including how to:

• Make management an attractive option for your top performers.
• Cultivate fidelity in the workplace.
• Promote a "one for all, all for one" corporate culture.
• Create a "Flying Squad" to tackle daunting challenges.

Packed with first-person accounts, concrete examples, and probing insights, this fast-paced, eye-opening book helps you tap into the FBI's innovative tactics for developing a dedicated team of hardworking professionals.
