About the Book
It’s time to grab your baton and lead your organization by implementing effective leadership strategies. William Stieber, PhD, an internationally recognized leadership development trainer, educator, professor, and business consultant, shares a blueprint that will help you drive meaningful change at your organization. But progress can only begin after you answer questions such as: • How are you benchmarking external forces? • How would you characterize your distinct sound to your customers? • What changes in the organization need to be made to ensure alignment? • Are there improvement opportunities in your processes that merit review and change? Asking questions like these are a key first step in applying tips to preserve harmony and ensure your department or organization is operating with a similar focus and maintaining a rhythm to sustain profits, customer satisfaction, and employee retention. Stieber also shares guidance on retaining best-in-class employees, assessing organizational vulnerabilities, and establishing a workplace culture where learning and teamwork is valued. As a musician, it can be tough to play high notes while staying in tune, and organizations face the same challenge—especially after achieving some initial success. Get the insights and strategic guidance you need to succeed in an increasingly competitive environment with The Final Score.
