xvii, 195 p. : index ; 24 cm. What's the difference between organizations and managers that fail and those that succeed? It's simple: successful managers and organizations do a better job of implementing those basic management practices that get results. In this book, Clint Longenecker and Jack Simonetti draw on the wisdom of over two thousand high-performing managers to show you how to improve not only your own performance, but also the performance of the people for whom you are directly responsible. They show how, by building a model of key practices-what the authors call the five absolutes-any manager can elicit high performance and improve results in all areas. With practical tools and step-by-step advice, the authors show how to develop the practices and habits of high-performing managers, including how to: o Discover the keys to managerial career success and survival o Create a focus on results that aligns actions with desired outcomes o Equip your operation with the tools, talent, and technology for high performance o Learn the practices that create a climate for results o Create "people performance power" by nurturing relationships among people o Develop specific practices for improving employee, personal and operational performance TABLE OF CONTENTS Series Foreword Preface 1 The Call for Results 2 Absolute #1: Get Everyone on the Same Page: Focus on the Purpose of Your Organization 3 Absolute #2: Prepare for Battle: Equip Your Operation with Tools, Talent, and Technology 4 Absolute #3: Stoke the Fire of Performance: Create a Climate for Results 5 Absolute #4: Build Bridges on the Road to Results: Nurture Relationships with People 6 Absolute #5: Keep the Piano in Tune: Practice Continuous Renewal Afterword: The Call for Action 171 Notes 181 The Authors 185 Index Leadership Corporate Strategy Success Total quality management Organizational effectiveness Organizational performance Organizational behaviour AD/LQ 363 0787953881 Perpustakaan - Sekolah Tinggi Manajemen PPM Pusat Informasi Manajemen AD/LQ 363 Lon 31038 General (General) AD/LQ 363 Lon 61KNHKpThCL.jpg.jpg 15850 2002-04-24 00:00:00 2022-05-10 09:51:06 machine generated
