In fact, I will go as far as to say that if you do not read this book, you are probably in dereliction of your duty as a manager." - The Working Manager "I have rarely read a book that had me nodding so enthusiastically on virtually every page...Read this remarkable book" - People Management, August 2006 Fiddle around with spread-sheets if you must, but if you want to improve the performance of your business focus on the behaviour of your leaders.

It's what you do that gets results.' Nigel Melville, former Captain of England Rugby "What appeals first and foremost about the book is its sheer readability. The content is compelling and one just enjoys turning the pages to see what comes next. How many management books achieve that?" Chris Tomkinson. Former Director of Rothmans International To my mind, improving business performance starts at the top. Finally, a book that helps you direct and coach the behaviour of leaders. Paul Fleming MD Britax Childcare Europe We all do hundreds of different things at work each day, but which ones really make a difference? And if you're managing other people, how do you improve their performance? Behaviour is what drives performance. Personality is not the issue. Definitive scientific research shows that less than 10% of the variance in a person's behaviour is explained by personality. Behaviour is the actions you take and the decisions you make. You can control these things; you can decide what to do and when to do it. You can see these things, and you can measure them. And because you can decide what to do in any situation you can determine, control and most importantly, improve, your performance. In fact, performance is all about doing the right thing at the right time. SO GET IT RIGHT - LEARN THE SECRETS OF SUCCESSFUL BEHAVIOUR AND SEE YOUR PERFORMANCE SOAR!

This review is from: Performance (Paperback)
I'm enjoying reading this book now. A great work by Pro. Robin. This book is very essential to everyone and every organization. It gives clear indictation on what drives successful performance and how to motivate people. Organizations can improve the performance of their people if they pay good attention to practical thought mentioned by the author. I recommend this book to every individual. Improving a product or a work process will never be as challenging as improving people behavior. That's why i called it the book of the century.
Excellent work Prof. Robin Saud Saudi Arabia
