Delivering High Performance: The Third Generation Organisation

Autor Douglas G. Long
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 noi 2016
Douglas Long is the author of Third Generation Leadership and the Locus of Control which focused on the new understanding of what influences individuals’ values, world views and the behaviours needed to facilitate leadership fit for the future. Here, in Delivering High Performance, he concentrates on individual, unit and organisational performance when an organisation is using a Third Generation Leadership approach. Leaders constantly seek high performance and high levels of staff engagement; but achieving either depends on the competence and commitment of individuals or groups. The relationships between these factors are complex. Many people are competent to do things - they have the ability - but are not prepared to do them. They lack the willingness, confidence or motivation and the readiness to perform. You can even have the most committed and capable people in the world, yet still miss performance targets if there are issues with other factors impacting on performance. This book is a response to enquiries from those excited by the prospect of a Third Generation Leadership approach but who still have to grapple with performance issues - people who want to obtain and maintain high performing organisations. In that sense it builds on the new knowledge imparted in Third Generation Leadership and the Locus of Control. It is a ’How to ...’ book that gives the reader practical tools that can be immediately applied and activities that can be undertaken in order to develop and maintain the required or even the desired level of performance.

Descriere

Douglas Long’s Third Generation Leadership and the Locus of Control focused on individuals’ values, world views and the behaviours needed to facilitate leadership in the future. Here, in Delivering High Performance, he concentrates on the individual, unit and organisational performance tied to Third Generation Leadership. Leaders constantly seek high levels of performance and staff engagement; but achieving either depends on the competence and commitment of individuals or groups. Many people are competent to do things, but not prepared to do them. They lack the willingness, confidence or motivation - the readiness to perform. You can have the most committed and capable people, yet still miss targets due to other factors impacting performance. This is a ’How to ...’ book for those excited by the prospect of a Third Generation Leadership approach but who still have to grapple with performance issues.
