From the Back Cover

Leaders who have developed and used performance standards, differentiated by layer as described in The Performance Pipeline, have this to say:

"The best solutions for the most difficult issues involve clarity yet rigor. The performance standards are just that, and underpin our transitionfrom a bureaucratic government–owned company to a modern privatesector corporation." Lance Hockridge, chief executive officer, QR National

"As we evolve Newmont′s leadership capability to be highly effective in addressing the challenges of our global business environment, the performance standards have provided focus and clarity on the critical changes needed from every leader." Richard O′Brien, chief executive officer, Newmont Mining Corporation

"The performance standards gave us three great benefits. First, they created a common definition of performance and aligned 43,000 employees in 28 countries. Second, they helped us move from opinions to fact–based, more productive conversations about performance and how to help employees improve. Third, we are now clear about what to expect from each layer and have focused development activities on things that make a difference for each layer. The performance standards are now the central focus for all people–related processes and are included in business planning and business review sessions." Bernard Kunerth, senior vice president and chief human resources officer, Coca–Cola Hellenic

"Performance management is the real differentiater of business success. The Performance Pipeline shows us how to institutionalize it for maximum impact at every level. This well tested and practical framework has helped many businesses improve their results." Ram Charan, coauthor of the bestselling The Leadership Pipeline and Execution
