Maximizing Performance: Organizations, Teams, and Individuals

Written for managers, this book provides a discussion of organizational performance on three levels: organizational, team, and individual. The book explains the differences between failing, maintaining, and maximizing performance. Using text and nearly 200 case studies to illustrate, the book shows how common strategies for improvement often fail and clearly lays out methods that work across types of organizations from small to large, new to existing, and non-profit. Measures for maximizing success are quantitatively defined, dealing with net worth, stock value, net and gross income growth, and myriad other non-financial metrics such as employee retention.
