 JANUARY'S FC READERS' CHOICE AWARD
Contagious Success: Spreading High Performance Throughout Your Organization
by Susan Lucia Annunzio
Companies in search of a competitive edge look outside for answers when the secret ingredients for success might already be right under their noses. Every company has a few ace workgroups -- identify those top-flight teams and "clone the genes" by positioning them as examples for other employees to follow. To determine what makes some teams good at what they do -- be it HR at Microsoft UK or product development at Whirlpool Corp. -- Annunzio put 3,000 knowledge workers under the microscope in search of a universal formula for high performance. The result is a book about the dos and don'ts of managing, intended for rising execs with teams of their own. |
