The Performance Culture

In The Performance Culture, leadership expert Khalil Smith and veteran storyteller Chris Weller deliver an authoritative and practical instruction manual for every leader who wants to create healthy, high-performing cultures. The authors explain how to get your employees aligned, engaged, and collaborating with each other using compelling stories and contemporary research. In the book, you'll learn to turn the temperature down on some of business's hottest conversations, focusing on what actually creates top-tier performance without ignoring the pressing issues that influence the realities of work. You'll also find strategies for maintaining a strong focus on business results with an increasingly vocal employee base demanding action on social and political issues; the four key ingredients to creating high-performing teams: awareness, behaviors, community, and systems; and practical advice for making the most of your existing diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies. A can't-miss guide for today's leaders, managers, directors, executives, founders, and anyone who wants to build more successful and durable teams, The Performance Culture is an effective and essential roadmap that transforms how diverse and inclusive workplaces succeed.
