経歴と著者の歩み

Patrick M. Lencioni, born in 1965 in Bakersfield, California, grew up in a tight-knit family where his father worked as a sales representative. Excelling academically and athletically, Lencioni was student body president and valedictorian at Garces Memorial High School before moving on to Claremont McKenna College, where he earned a BA in economics and Spanish. This foundation would lay the groundwork for a career at the crossroads of business analysis and interpersonal dynamics.
