Synopsis

Chances are you've tried many of the latest management fads in the hope that they'll give you a quick fix for troubling performance issues in your organization.

But there's a problem: those quick fixes don't bring effective long-term change. As emotionally appealing as the latest "magic bullet" theory may be, it's unlikely to address an important reality in most organizations: complexity. Change needs to be made in a logical, systemic way at different levels to be successful and sustainable. InNo Magic Bullet: Seven Steps to Better Performance, author Joe Willmore delivers seven steps to help you create serious performance improvements in your organization. His approach includes techniques and tips that help you

understand why quick fixes don't work

avoid "management fashion" fads

figure out if your organization thinks systemically

identify outstanding performers and start learning from them

focus on what really matters.
