Description:

It is absolutely true that ‘the soft stuff is the hard stuff’ and that most HR departments need less PowerPoint and more Excel. Accelerating Performance offers a sharp analysis of how successful companies ‘crack the code’ to build a winning culture and drive sustainable growth—and do it faster than their competitors.

Meanwhile, technology opens new frontiers and brings new challenges alike in a hyperconnected world not apt to slow down any time soon. Business leaders must navigate this incessant disruption while working to move their organizations forward ahead of competitors both newly emerging and well established.How can leaders succeed in today’s unpredictable markets and shifting operating environments?Accelerating Performance provides an actionable playbook for CEOs and senior executives seeking to drive transformation for competitive advantage in an ever-changing world. We have developed a strategic META framework (short for Mobilize, Execute, and Transform with Agility) to guide executives to boost the metabolic rate of their teams and organizations to drive to value faster than competitors.Colin Priceis an executive vice president and the global managing partner of the Leadership Consulting Practice at Heidrick Struggles.

In a continually disrupted marketplace, companies live and die by their ability to acceleratetheir performance. The genius of this book is its rigorous analysis of the blockers to acceleration and how to remove them—and its insights into the agility required to transform a business. It is eye-opening stuff. Mark Wilson, group CEO, Aviva Using a deeply analytical and forensic approach, the authors tease out why some companieshave avoided the drag of underperformance. Their detailed analysis of these ‘superaccelerators’reinforces some deeply held beliefs but also uncovers crucial insights about what it takes to succeed. Filled with insights, action points, and wisdom—this is a must-read for any leader tasked with building a high-performance organization.

Accelerating Performance sheds light on the practices that constitute great teamwork. Lord Ara Darzi, Paul Hamlyn chair of surgery, Imperial College London, and former U.K. health minister Some business books excel at data-based analytical rigor, others at strategy, leadership, or soft skills. Accelerating Performance integrates all these vital components and teaches leaders how to drive fast with vision.

Who wouldn’t want their company to be in Colin and Sharon’s group of super-performers? Drawing on original research, illuminating cases, and practical advice, they show us a surprising—even unfashionable—route for companies to get there: not by reinventing themselves but by becoming significantly better versions of who they already are! Smart, funny, with a very high ‘PIPSI’ (provocative ideas per square inch). Robert Kegan, Meehan Professor of Adult Learning and Professional Development, Harvard University, and coauthor of 'An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization' Delivering sustainable, standout performance is the holy grail for business leaders. Colin andSharon present a compelling agenda to help leaders increase the metabolic rate in their business, thereby creating the conditions for long-term success.
