In Gary Lim's third business parable, the life of main character Bill McNolten is rocked by his unexpected layoff from the company where he has worked for the past 15 years. This is a wrenchingly new experience for him, a major upheaval that is at first an emotional roller coaster. Bill's story sets the stage for the author to introduce his meaning of the acronym ACTION, an iterative cycle of actions that anyone grappling with a career quandary can take to find his or her niche. Times of uncertainty can sometimes lead to greater opportunities, but only if we remember to take ACTION.

In the leadership parable Let It Fly! Defy the Laws of Business Gravity and Keep Your Company Soaring, two executives compare their contrasting leadership styles during a round of golf at a scenic oceanside course in California. As their golf game unfolds amidst the breathtaking beauty of the golf course, Carl Baxter and Ed Hilland become immersed in the concepts of Carl's FORE cycle, Aerial Views, and the Five Laws of Business Gravity. Ed discovers a golf analogy to leadership -- just as Newton's law of gravity pulls a golf ball to the ground, the Laws of Business Gravity can pull a company's growth to the ground. And as a golfer uses better ball and club technology to defy gravity to keep his golf shot soaring, Carl shows Ed how to use the FORE cycle and Aerial Views to defy the Laws of Business Gravity, to keep his company soaring.
