USA TODAY BESTSELLERDiscover a proven 5-step process to drive business growth through talent development To achieve your company's goals, you need all team members performing at their best. Yet only 2 percent of business leaders feel that their performance management system delivers exceptional value. Since the number one driver of profit growth is people growth, that's a very scary statistic. A leadership team coach and consultant for over thirty-five years, Mike Goldman knows the problems with traditional methods of managing direct reports--why annual reviews don't work, why leaders tend to invest the most in developing the wrong people, why one top performer is worth several lesser performers, and why a "good performer" who's a bad culture fit isn't really a good performer after all. It's time for a change. In The Strength of Talent, Goldman introduces his Talent Density Framework, a five-step proven performance management tool honed with over 150 CEOs and leadership teams. This groundbreaking guide provides an innovative system for assessing, coaching, and developing team and individual performance. Learn how to retain and grow top talent, turn mediocre performers into all-stars, and transition someone out of the organization who's not a strong fit. When it's time to gauge your progress, Goldman introduces the Talent Density Indicator, a new measure to help you hold yourself and your team leaders accountable. If you want to scale your company, you first need to scale your people. Building a team of high performers means greater value for clients and stakeholders, consistent top- and bottom-line growth, a fulfilling work environment, and the ability to take on exciting new opportunities. The Strength of Talent is the ultimate guide to achieving growth and fulfillment with lower frustration and increased impact, so you can fall in love with your business all over again.
