Summary

A slow economy accompanied by austerity thinking means open positions at businesses go unfilled, leaving more work for those who remain and less staff to accomplish it. No wonder many leaders are looking for a simple, easily implemented management process that will help them get things done by creating a sense of urgency and accountability among those they lead. Filling the bill is Leadership GPS, a process already in operation and proven effective by a number of successful companies. Using business scorecards, action registers, and a behavioral system that engages team members, LGPS drives focus, engagement, and perhaps most important, will keep working in the absence of the leader who installed it. LGPS will do this for leaders at any level regardless of their role, whether they manage a staff of three, or are the CEO of a worldwide organization employing many tens of thousands. As many now rely daily on Global Positioning Systems to navigate unfamiliar roads and cities, now leaders have a Leadership GPS to navigate the ever changing and challenging business landscape.
