Synopsis

As we enter a new millennium of leadership, the rules of the game have not only changed they are constantly changing. How can an organization hope to survive when the environment in which it is doing business is continually confronted by broadening competition, shorter product cycle times, old paradigm/new paradigm leadership questions, and an increasingly high premium on available time? The answer is surprisingly not about working more, harder, or faster. It is actually conveyed in the title of this book. The secret of a winning culture is the building of high-performance teams. Is that a secret? Probably not. The real secret this book reveals, then, is in how to make it happen.

The Secret of a Winning Culture: Building High-Performance Teams sets forth a proven series of principles and processes that ensures an organization's success when leaders change, mergers and acquisitions join cultures, change initiatives are introduced, and faster simply isn't enough. Putting these ideas into action unlocks the power of high performance teams, which in turn, produces high performance organizations.

The secret to building high-performance teams ultimately lies in the health of the organizational culture. Are people throughout the company feeling energized, motivated, able to grow personally and professionally? Or are they overstressed, overworked, focused solely on numbers and results?

This book outlines how to realize a set of healthy working principles for organizational change and life-effectiveness that both produces results and is inherently fulfilling. Change is not about to go away, which is why the message of The Secret of a Winning Culture: Building High-Performance Teams is so valuable —to ensure today's corporate cultures are still thriving tomorrow.
