Summary

"Good execution depends on employees doing the right things at the right time. But poor execution isn't usually about people gone bad. According to Steve Kerr - who led the legendary leadership development centers Crotonville for General Electric and Pine Street for Goldman Sachs - it's usually about incentive systems gone bad: we reward A when we need B." "After working with countless executives over the years, Kerr has developed a simple but effective three-step process to help you realign your reward system. By following Kerr's advice, you can dramatically improve your organization's performance - without adding headcount, upgrading IT capabilities, hiring consultants, or changing the basic nature of your employees. You'll also create a more motivated workplace."--BOOK JACKET.
