Book Description

Just like successful diets, building a high performing workforce requires more than chasing after the latest quick-fix fad or hiring the best consulting gurus to get your organization on track. Companies often look for a silver bullet, a single program that solves all their problems. Author Joe Willmore presents a convincing case why chasing a magic bullet is a road without end. In place of that, Willmore offers a simple, seven-step plan that will successfully build a high performing workforce, which then results in organization-wide improvement that sustains bottom-line value. Along with the plan, the author provides examples that illustrate key points and concepts, as well as practical advice that spurs action.
