This is a "must read" for managers at all levels. It truly provides the best method for diagnosis of employee performance issues and powerful tools for appropriate corrective action.The stories drive home the key points and make it an enjoyable book to read.

I have had the pleasure of participating in management training classes quarterly for the last two years. Rick and Julie (the authors) have been our instructors. I can tell you that if you are interested in improving your management style and your value to your company you would be well served to embrace their ideas. They create a framework that allows you organize your feedback and to use the proper coaching style to address and improve your staff's behavior and their results both short and long term.

Rick and Julie are fantastic at what they do. Of course like any good idea, the action you take to implement it will determine success. Their experience makes their ideas easy to understand and has created a framework that allows me understand my weaknesses and improve them. I have openly communicated this approach with my staff and have encouraged participation in the process.

At the end of the day my team will tell you that they may not always agree with my assessment of their performance, but they understand my reasoning and it is clear that I have given their results a thorough and informed review. They also walk away knowing that their personal success is a priority to me. Clear open communication habits advicated by Mr. Tate and Dr. White have changed my process and the results have been recognized by my subordinates, my peers and my executive management team.

In my more than 30 years of work experience I can say that if my mentors had used these ideas I would have had more confidence and more career development success. Who knows how much further I might have gone and how much happier I would be doing something that I have always been so passionate about. My short comings are my own responsibility but an introduction to this train of thought would have, and has, changed my career.

Thank you again Rick and Julie. You should both know that what you do can, and does, make a difference in the lives of your students.

This was a wonderful read. For anyone in management (particularly human resources) this book is easy/quick to read and provides some very interesting information and practical information. I highly recommend it.

This book was refered to me by a professor at my college. I think this is the most accurate book i have ever read. It is a must read for all managers and supervisors. Job well done.

Here is a practical guide for managers that provides key insights and action steps for managers to diagnose, evaluate and effectively guide people to success in their jobs. It is easy to read and even easier to implement these best practices for setting goals, empowering people, enhancing and achieving personal and team performace, and dealing with the borderline or ineffective performers. As a management consultant and coach, I highly recommend this book to managers at all levels in the organization.

The Performance Advantage Method provides an effective guide for leaders in coaching and developing team members to greater performance and personal success. The Method is easy to understand and apply with specific leadership actions recommended for each performance challenge diagnosis. This book is a great leadership guidebook for supervisors and executives alike.
