Title: Summary of Extreme Ownership: How US Navy SEALS Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin Author: FlashBooks Book Summaries Narrator: Dean Bokhari Format: Unabridged Length: 47 mins Language: English Release date: 12-26-17 Publisher: FlashBooks Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Note: This is a book summary - not the original version - of the following title: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. Original book description: In the blockbuster best-selling leadership book that took America and the world by storm, two US Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq War demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and life. Combat, the most intense and dynamic environment imaginable, teaches the toughest leadership lessons, with absolutely everything at stake. Jocko Willink and Leif Babin learned this reality first-hand on the most violent and dangerous battlefield in Iraq. As leaders of SEAL Team Threes Task Unit Bruiser, their mission was one many thought impossible: help US forces secure Ramadi, a violent, insurgent-held city deemed all but lost. In gripping, firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories, they learned that leadership - at every level - is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails. Willink and Babin returned home from deployment and instituted SEAL leadership training to pass on their harsh lessons learned in combat to help forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After leaving the SEAL teams, they launched a company, Echelon Front, to teach those same leadership principles to leaders in businesses, companies, and organizations across the civilian sector. Since that time, they have trained countless leaders and worked with hundreds of companies in virtually every industry across the US and internationally, teaching them how to develop their own high-performance teams and most effectively lead those teams to dominate their battlefields. Since its release in October 2015, Extreme Ownership has revolutionized leadership development and set a new standard for literature on the subject. Required reading for many of the most successful organizations, it has become an integral part of the official leadership training programs for scores of business teams, military units, and first responders. Detailing the mindset and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult combat missions, Extreme Ownership demonstrates how to apply them to any team or organization, in any leadership environment. A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill their ultimate purpose: lead and win.

Title: How I Made Six Million Dollars in Three Years: And How You Can Too! Author: Barry Ellsworth Narrator: Barry Ellsworth Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 11-30-17 Publisher: Do Good Media, LLC Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: What would it be worth to you if someone could actually teach you how to make six million dollars in three years? In his new audiobook, Barry Ellsworth describes in detail each of the steps he took to create a company that has since grown into one of the largest ethanol producers in the world, and how in the process, he made six million dollars during the first three years of the company's existence. A friend of the author who works for a billionaire real estate developer recently commented after reading the book that she has never seen anyone explain in such detail how a deal is actually done as Barry has in this book. He describes from beginning to end the thought processes and considerations one must go through to first conceive of doing a deal of significant size and to then bring it to fruition. It is truly an eye opening experience. The author often compares making money to learning how to ride a bicycle. He explains that no one is born knowing how to ride a bike or how to make money. However, everyone can learn how to do both with a little instruction and practice. Once you learn, both are things you will never forget. It is simply becoming familiar with the process and then going out and doing the work. The process described in How I Made Six Million Dollars in Three Years can be applied to any field of endeavor. The audiobook was created to give people a clear and concise map of how to dramatically improve their financial situation. People simply have to listen to the audiobook, apply the principles to their lives, put in the work, and watch their lives change. If you only listen to one book this year, and you want to improve your financial position in life, please give yourself a gift and listen to this one.

Original Book Summary Overview This book is different from other management books because it addresses problems that other books don't. It teaches you how to deal with the hard things. So, what are the hard things? Setting a big goal and getting your employees to achieve it is not a hard thing; the hard thing is when you miss that goal and have to lay people off. Other management books try to present a recipe for dealing with situations that have no recipes. There are no recipes for building a start-up or composing a hit single, or running for the president of the United States. That's the hard thing about hard things. Please Note: This is a summary, analysis and review of the book and not the original book. It is meant as a supplement to, not a replacement for, The Hard Thing About Hard Things.

Title: Exception to the Rule Subtitle: The Surprising Science of Character-Based Culture, Engagement, and Performance Author: Peter J. Rea, James K. Stoller, Alan Kolp Narrator: Doug Greene Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-17 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Education Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: The antidote to navigating turbulent times isn't more rules. It is timeless virtue that creates sustainable value. Thoughtful leaders are keenly aware of the enormous challenge they face to drive high performance in a world that continues to ratchet up pressure and uncertainty. Some leaders respond by getting tough and establishing strict rules. They get people in line, but they don't inspire excellence. Wise leaders, on the other hand, help their people practice character to navigate their way through the turbulence - without lowering performance expectations. As a result, their people are more reliable under pressure. Exception to the Rule links ancient wisdom with contemporary science on high performance, teamwork, and engagement. Building an organizational culture based on classical virtues - of trust, compassion, courage, justice, wisdom, temperance, and hope - is both strategically smart and a better way to live. Exception to the Rule walks you through the steps of helping everyone in your organization focus on character defined by virtue. The word virtue means excellence, which is why each one is essential to help people perform at a high level despite uncertainty and pressure. Under character-based leadership, teams work better together, creativity flourishes and engagement increases. The most powerful idea of Exception to the Rule is this: character defined by virtue is not based on birthright; it can be learned and practiced. Everyone can develop habits to become better than they were. While character cannot be legislated, character can be cultivated. As virtue proves its value, the culture you have can evolve into the culture you need.

The treasure of his teachings can be found in his book The Arthashastra, which deals with good governance based on ideal leadership. The concept of the ideal nation in The Arthashastra, called Saptanga, holds that there are seven pillars of a kingdom: Swami, Amatya, Janpada, Durg, Kosha, Dand, Mitra iti Prakritya.

Former Director General of Police, Maharashtra, and the archetype of an able administrator, Sivanandhan shares his guidelines for effective management, highlighting those that make him a dynamic leader. In Chanakya's 7 Secrets of Leadership, theory meets practice, academic research meets vast experience in police supervision and an age-old formula is revealed in a modern-day success story. Together, Pillai and Sivanandhan bring Chanakya's model to life. Anyone can use the seven secrets of leadership to run a kingdom effectively. Apply them in your life, and the magic of Chanakya's wisdom will transform you into the ideal leader.

Title: Business Models for Teams Subtitle: See How Your Organization Really Works and How Each Person Fits In Author: Tim Clark, Bruce Hazen, Yves Pigneur - foreword Narrator: Timothy Andrés Pabon Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 06-27-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: This book will do for teamwork what the cult classic Business Model Generation did for strategy. In 2010, Tim Clark helped create Business Model Generation, a groundbreaking global bestseller on how enterprises deliver value customers. In 2012, Clark and partner Bruce Hazen followed up with Business Model You, pioneering the personal business model technique for individuals. In their new book, Clark and Hazen turn this sights on teams, showing managers how much better their enterprises function when individuals and teams know their role in creating value for customers. Even great leaders face management problems every day. Do we have the right people in the right seats? How do they know what is a priority? Are we making it clear to everyone - across meetings, reports, and projects - how the enterprise creates value, and how each team member fits in? Through case studies, brief exercises and easy-to-follow visuals, Clark and Hazen show how leaders of any group, regardless of size, can help people work independently and passionately toward shared goals without excessive turnover, training, or culture building exercises. While any leader will benefit from Business Model For Teams, it is the ideal book for those confronting big market changes or overseeing new groups of colleagues.

And yet, year after year, we continue to see research that shows employee engagement and morale levels plateauing on the low end of the scale. Why is this? Why are we unable to move the needle and create the kind of working conditions that not only allow our employees to succeed, but thrive under our leadership? What these findings reveal is that leaders often can't see the gap that exists between what they want their leadership to represent and how others actually experience their leadership. Many of us are experiencing a common perceptual problem where our brain sends us false signals assuring us that everything is okay when it is not. We call this phenomenon Leadership Vertigo. Leadership Vertigo: Why Even the Best Leaders Go Off Course and How They Can Get Back On Track will help you to understand how you can counter these bouts of self-deception by employing four Leadership Landmarks - Community, Competence, Credibility, and Compassion - to get your team back on course.

Title: Personality at Work Subtitle: The Drivers and Derailers of Leadership Author: Ron Warren Narrator: Dave Clark Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 04-10-17 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Education Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: An evidence-based approach to personality and leadership. A leader's bullying and constant dismissal of his team's concerns nearly take down an entire company - and the global financial system. The US government has to provide a $182 billion bailout. A new CEO transforms a near-bankrupt auto company, and its infamously competitive culture becomes more collaborative and thrives - making it the only auto manufacturer to not take bailout funds. These stories share a truth: Each leader's personality set the course of their company's future. We all know that IQ, education, knowledge, and technical skills are essential for professionals, but they alone are insufficient for effective leadership. Who you are as a person - your personality and character - drives leadership performance and determines who thrives and who fails. In Personality at Work, psychologist Ron Warren lays out the key personality traits that drive high performance - and the common traits that derail it. Warren clusters closely related traits into four dimensions of behavior: Each cluster is broken down into personality traits - 13 in all. Personality at Work draws from research using the renowned LMAP 360 with 20,000 leaders and 250,000 360-feedback raters. An assessment used at organizations around the world, LMAP 360 is used at Harvard Business School, Yale School of Management, Underwriter Laboratories, BearingPoint, Deloitte, Teach for America, Clayton Homes, and more than 35 hospital systems throughout the United States. Personality at Work integrates research on personality and performance, teamwork, communications, judgment, and decision making. You will learn how to:

Sin embargo, entre el cincuenta y el setenta por ciento de esos esfuerzos por lograr un cambio fracasan. Unos pocos perecen de manera repentina, pero son muchos los que mueren con una muerte larga y dolorosa que agota los recursos, la energía y la moral de la organización. ¿Quién, o qué, está matando el cambio? Eso es lo que vas a descubrir en esta ingeniosa historia de misterio.

As a firefighter, you know instinctively what this means: there is a child inside. You immediately enter "the zone" because you know what to do. This is based on your training and experience. The feeling of being "in the zone", is referred to in the field of positive psychology as "the flow". Multiple studies have shown that, if people have the proper training and experience, they will make better decisions in emerging situations while in a flow-state. How can your organization help your people experience flow more often, thereby improving their decision-making? This book describes what flow is and what flow-based decision making and flow-based leadership look like. It also details a flow-based leadership model for implementation, based on an extreme, experiential training program in the fire service called Georgia Smoke Diver (GSD). This model consists of :

Title: Intelligent Fanatics Project Subtitle: How Great Leaders Build Sustainable Businesses Author: Ian Cassel, Sean Iddings Narrator: Scott R. Pollak Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 11-21-16 Publisher: MicroCapClub Publication Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: How does a great company sustain and grow profits for decades? Many people are familiar with Warren Buffett's analogy of a moat: various defenses to thwart competition. But moats are fleeting; they are here today and gone tomorrow. The more important question is, who builds and maintains moats? Intelligent fanatics do. These leaders build high-performance organizations that can dominate for decades. Intelligent Fanatics Project looks at the stories of eight intelligent fanatics who built dominant and enduring businesses. A $1,000 investment with each of these intelligent fanatics would, on average, have been worth $3.4 million 37 years later - a 24.6% compounded annual return. They operated in a wide array of industries, in different time periods, on different continents, and against different economic backdrops, yet their leadership styles, strategies, corporate cultures, and values were similar. Intelligent fanatics are what every entrepreneur aspires to be and what every long-term investor dreams of finding and investing in early. Sean Iddings and Ian Cassel examine the common traits of these intelligent fanatics, to help both the investor and the entrepreneur generate extraordinary returns.

Title: Change the WorkGame Subtitle: Building and Sustaining a Diverse Workforce Author: Serilda Summers-McGee Narrator: Serilda Summers-McGee Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 10-04-16 Publisher: Workplace Change Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Research shows that diverse workgroups are more productive, creative and innovative than homogeneous groups. In a global marketplace, and with the rapidly changing racial makeup of America, having a high functioning, diverse workforce is imperative for your organization's success. Change the WorkGame has been designed to show you how establish a diverse workforce throughout all strata of your organization and how to sustain your progress. As a human resources executive, diversity and inclusion consultant, and a member of historically marginalized communities, I have experienced wildly unsuccessful diversity and inclusion strategies; and advised, coached, and led wildly successful diversity and inclusion initiatives. Business leaders and department heads have used the steps outlined in this how-to guide to successfully recruit and retain diverse talent. Chris, a small business owner, says, "the diversity recruitment steps listed in the book, matched with real life scenarios really helps bring to life not only how to go about recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce, but why it is important." I promise that if you follow the steps outlined in Change the WorkGame, you will increase the diversity of your workforce within six months following the activation of the last step and you will increase employee satisfaction by enhancing your managers and the inclusivity of your workplace. Don't wait to activate your diversity initiative. Don't wait to make your workforce stronger, nimbler, more creative, and more dynamic. Don't wait to establish an inclusive work environment where everyone feels respected, appreciated and heard. Be the person to take the lead towards change. If not you, then who?

Title: The Shareholder Action Guide Subtitle: How to Tell CEOs What to Do Author: Andrew Behar Narrator: Wes Bleed Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-16 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Corporations are the most powerful entities on the planet. Unfortunately, many have had a long record of unprecedented and unbridled environmental degradation, social transgressions, and governance secrecy. Since by law they are beholden to their shareholders, some philanthropic trusts, pension funds, and other institutional investors have used shareholder advocacy to press for changes in corporate policy. But individual investors have largely been silent, thinking themselves powerless. They're not! The Shareholder Action Guide is designed to inform, inspire, and instruct investors in how to exercise their power to effect meaningful change on critical issues including climate change, food toxicity, executive compensation, worker's rights, sustainability, and much more. Owners of as little as $2,000 worth of stock in a publicly traded corporation have the power to be heard. This book is a call to action designed to build a movement of active investors. Behar shows investors exactly how to stop abdicating their power and own what they own.

Title: Leading with Character and Competence Subtitle: Moving Beyond Title, Position, and Authority Author: Timothy R. Clark Narrator: Wayne Shepherd Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 08-29-16 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Our leadership development programs teach necessary skills, yet we often train individuals who do not have the character to lead, which is a weakness because a leader with skills but no character can be dangerous. But a leader with character but no skills is useless. In this book, author, consultant, and entrepreneur Tim Clark shows how anyone can develop both character and competence. Clark lays out his model of the "core" (character) and the "crust" (competence) to explain how we can rethink leadership. Most importantly, this model makes no allowance for job title, formal authority, or position. Almost anyone with the right character can learn competence, but Clark makes clear that the formula rarely works the other way around. For each aspect of leadership, he shares a series of mini lessons taken from his research and experience. Clark's book will be a key personal growth tool for anyone anywhere ready to step up, regardless of external labels or job description.

Title: Blue-Collar Gold Subtitle: How to Build a Service Business from the Dirt Up Author: Mark Stoner Narrator: Mark Stoner Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-16 Publisher: Mark Stoner Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Problem: Most Americans don't realize the potential gold mine in blue-collar business. By blue-collar business, I mean a business providing a specialized service requiring a trained employee and manual labor. In my case, it is chimney sweeping, but it can range from construction to gardening to plumbing and junk removal. There are literally thousands and thousands of opportunities, but many people don't consider blue-collar work as an option and are missing out as a result: Over three million blue-collar and skilled labor jobs went unfilled in America last year! The service industry is wide open in America, and this book will open your eyes to a growing opportunity that you probably never thought about. By listening to this book, you will learn how to: So come on, America, let's get to work doing the dirty jobs and make a whole lot of money while we're at it.

Title: Overcomplicated Subtitle: Technology at the Limits of Comprehension Author: Samuel Arbesman Narrator: Sean Pratt Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 07-19-16 Publisher: Gildan Media, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 101 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: Why did the New York Stock Exchange suspend trading without warning on July 8, 2015? Why did certain Toyota vehicles accelerate uncontrollably against the will of their drivers? Why does the programming inside our airplanes occasionally surprise its creators? After a thorough analysis by the top experts, the answers still elude us. You don't understand the software running your car or your iPhone. But here's a secret: Neither do the geniuses at Apple or the PhDs at Toyota - not perfectly, anyway. No one - not lawyers, doctors, accountants, or policy makers - fully grasps the rules governing your tax return, your retirement account, or your hospital's medical machinery. The same technological advances that have simplified our lives have made the systems governing our lives incomprehensible, unpredictable, and overcomplicated. In Overcomplicated, complexity scientist Samuel Arbesman offers a fresh, insightful field guide to living with complex technologies that defy human comprehension. As technology grows more complex, Arbesman argues, its behavior mimics the vagaries of the natural world more than it conforms to a mathematical model. If we are to survive and thrive in this new age, we must abandon our need for governing principles and rules and accept the chaos. By embracing and observing the freak accidents and flukes that disrupt our lives, we can gain valuable clues about how our algorithms really work. What's more, we will become better thinkers, scientists, and innovators as a result. Lucid and energizing, this audiobook is a vital new analysis of the world heralded as "modern" for anyone who wants to live wisely.

Title: Summary and Analysis: Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull Author: FlashBooks Book Summaries Narrator: Dean Bokhari Format: Unabridged Length: 27 mins Language: English Release date: 06-07-16 Publisher: FlashBooks Book Summaries Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: This is a book summary of Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull and Amy Wallace. Original book description: Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration by Ed Catmull and Amy Wallace is a New York Times best seller and was named one of the best books of the year by The Huffington Post. From Ed Catmull, co-founder (with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter) of Pixar Animation Studios, the Academy Award-winning studio behind Inside Out and Toy Story, comes an incisive book about creativity in business and leadership - sure to appeal to listeners of Daniel Pink, Tom Peters, and Chip and Dan Heath. Fast Company raves that Creativity, Inc. "just might be the most thoughtful management book ever". Creativity, Inc. is a book for managers who want to lead their employees to new heights, a manual for anyone who strives for originality, and the first-ever, all-access trip into the nerve center of Pixar Animation - into the meetings, postmortems, and "Braintrust" sessions where some of the most successful films in history are made. It is, at heart, a book about how to build a creative culture - but it is also, as Pixar co-founder and president Ed Catmull writes, "an expression of the ideas that I believe make the best in us possible". For nearly 20 years, Pixar has dominated the world of animation, producing such beloved films as the Toy Story trilogy, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, WALL-E, and Inside Out, which have gone on to set box-office records and garner 30 Academy Awards. The joyousness of the storytelling, the inventive plots, the emotional authenticity: In some ways, Pixar movies are an object lesson in what creativity really is. Here, in this book, Catmull reveals the ideals and techniques that have made Pixar so widely admired. Please note: This is a summary of the book and not the original book.

Title: Adam Grant's Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success Summary Author: Ant Hive Media Narrator: Kevin Theis Format: Unabridged Length: 21 mins Language: English Release date: 05-24-16 Publisher: Ant Hive Media Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: This is a summary of Adam M. Grant's New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-seller, Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But today, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. It turns out that at work, most people operate as either takers, matchers, or givers. Whereas takers strive to get as much as possible from others and matchers aim to trade evenly, givers are the rare breed of people who contribute to others without expecting anything in return. Using his own pioneering research as Wharton's youngest tenured professor, Adam Grant shows that these styles have a surprising impact on success. Although some givers get exploited and burn out, the rest achieve extraordinary results across a wide range of industries. Combining cutting-edge evidence with captivating stories, Grant shows how one of America's best networkers developed his connections, why the creative genius behind one of the most popular shows in television history toiled for years in anonymity, how a basketball executive responsible for multiple draft busts transformed his franchise into a winner, and how we could have anticipated Enron's demise four years before the company collapsed - without ever looking at a single number. Praised by best-selling authors such as Susan Cain, Dan Pink, Tony Hsieh, Seth Godin, Dan Ariely, Gretchen Rubin, David Allen, Dan Gilbert, and Robert Cialdini - along with senior leaders from Google, McKinsey, Merck, Estee Lauder, Twitter, Nike, and NASA - Give and Take highlights what effective networking, collaboration, influence, negotiation, and leadership skills have in common.

Title: Breaking the Trust Barrier Subtitle: How Leaders Close the Gaps for High Performance Author: JV Venable Narrator: Dave Clark Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-16 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Business, Leadership Publisher's Summary: For the members of the US Air Force Thunderbirds, teamwork is literally a matter of life and death. On maneuvers like the one pictured on the cover, the gap between jets is as little as 18 inches. The surge of momentum that comes with that level of closure has an incredibly positive impact on the team's mission. As you might imagine, sustaining that distance relies on the highest levels of trust. "On the ground as in the air, from CEO to midlevel supervisor, we all face the same challenge," says former Thunderbird commander and demonstration leader JV Venable. Our job is to entice those in our wake to close the gaps on our teams - gaps in commitment, respect, and integrity that slow us down. Every foot of closure requires those in your wake to let go of the biases and mental safeguards that they believe keep them safe but in fact hold both them and the whole team back. Overcoming the barrier of trust to fly less than an arm's length away from a jet moving 500 miles per hour at 400 feet off the ground is no small challenge. Creating that trust on a team with an annual turnover of 50 percent requires a predictable, repeatable process the Thunderbirds have been refining for more than half a century. Venable has captured that process and packages it here with compelling stories that will build a path to your own extraordinary level of trust. This is a pause register that will be your go-to book on leadership. After you've listened to it, you'll see the power of closure everywhere, and you'll use Venable's techniques to lead your team to an even higher plane.

Through exercises and inspirational examples, Bhat and Sisodia show how to access this infinite energy and lead with your whole self. Male or female, leaders who understand and practice Shakti Leadership act from a consciousness of life-giving caring, creativity, and sustainability to achieve self-mastery internally and be of selfless service to the world.

It's a cookie-cutter, fear-based, top-down approach that emphasizes negatives over positives and stifles healthy career conversations. It's never been shown to motivate anyone to do anything but try to avoid it, but nobody feels like they have any alternative. Tamra Chandler has one - and it works. Actually, Chandler doesn't offer a single alternative - she offers an infinite number of them. Each organization that uses her Performance Management Reboot is able to develop its own unique version since it doesn't make a lot of sense for organizations with different cultures, in different industries and sectors, to do things exactly the same way. Grounded in the latest scientific findings about motivation, it's a transparent, employee-driven process that values collaboration over competition and rewards people for acquiring new skills and increasing their contribution instead of hitting arbitrary benchmarks. Chandler lays out the general principles and then walks you through each step in creating a performance management process that employees will actually embrace, rather than avoid and that will help you meet the three objectives of great performance management: developing your people, rewarding them equitably, and driving your organization's performance. It's the first comprehensive, step-by-step guide to creating a performance management solution that's tailored to your organization's needs and goals and that places the emphasis squarely on your greatest asset: your people.
