Description
Today’s hypercompetitive economy has created tense, overextended workplaces, forcing managers to choose between results and relationships. Executives set aggressive goals, so managers drive their teams to deliver, resulting in burnout. Or, employees seek connection and support, so managers focus on relationships . . . and fail to make the numbers. The fallout is stress, frustration, and disengagement--for both team members and managers.But in order to succeed, managers need to achieve both. They must get their workers to achieve while creating an environment that makes them truly want to. Winning Well offers managers a quick, practical action plan--complete with examples, stories, and online assessments. Managers will learn how to:• Stamp out the corrosive win-at-all-costs mentality• Focus on the game, not just the score• Reinforce behaviors that produce results• Sustain energy and momentum• Be the leader people want to work for• And moreTo prevent burnout and disengagement, while still achieving the necessary success for the company, managers must learn how to get their employees productive while creating an environment that makes them want to produce even more. Winning Well offers a quick, practical action plan for making the workplace productive, rewarding, and even fun.
