In order for your company to achieve its goals, you need the right people in the right places, motivated to achieve success. Once you have the right talent, they need something from you - consistent, inspired, and effective leadership. While this sounds like common knowledge, many businesses run below standards they once held high for themselves because of inconsistent leadership, lack of accountability, and poor customer service. Learn how to grow your business and ensure your employees are performing their best by: 1) Defining your staffing needs; 2) Knowing what metrics and results to measure; 3) Coaching for maximum performance; 4) Providing positive discipline.

"This major new book examines the way in which employment is managed across organizational boundaries. It analyses how public-private partnerships, franchises, agencies, and other forms of inter-firm contractual relations impact on work and employment and the experiences of those working in these increasingly significant forms of organization. Drawing upon research undertaken in eight separate networks comprising over 50 organizations it explores the fragmenting effects of contemporary changes in the organization of work and employment relationships." "The findings of this book raise questions about the governance of such complex organizational forms, the appropriateness of current institutions for addressing this complexity, and the challenge of harnessing employee commitment in circumstances where human resource practices are shaped by organizations other than the legal employer." "Fragmenting Work will be vital reading for all those wishing to understand the contemporary realities of work and employment."--Jacket.

Jack Welch with John A. Byrne

"As CEO of General Electric for the past twenty years, he has built its market cap by more than $450 billion and established himself as the most admired business leader in the world. His championing of initiatives like Six Sigma quality, globalization, and e-business have helped define the modern corporation. At the same time, he's a gutsy boss who has forged a unique philosophy and an operating system that relies on a "boundaryless" sharing of ideas, an intense focus on people, and an informal, give-and-take style that makes bureaucracy the enemy. In anecdotal detail and with self-effacing humor, Jack Welch gives us the people (most notably his Irish mother) who shaped his life and the big hits and the big misses that characterized his career."--BOOK JACKET.
