Product Description

Welcome to Amazon Shorts Leadership Made Simple! I developed The Amazon Shorts Leadership Made Simple Series to provide easy to understand, prescriptive advice for anyone who is put in a position to lead others. Whether you are a corporate manager, small business owner, PTA president, or non-profit manager, Leadership Made Simple has the helpful nuggets which will make a team want to follow you. Leadership Made Simple breaks down the leadership process into three distinct categories - Planning, Process, and People, all of which work together to support effective business leadership everyday. Make sure to read the strategy document “Leadership Made Simple Series - Planning, Process and People Leadership” for a full outline of how these three elements work together to make you an effective leader. “Don't Throw in the Towel; Throw Down the Gauntlet! Challenging Your Team to Achieve Great Performance” falls in the People category, and is for anyone who wants to step up the performance level on a team from marginal to outstanding. Many times we as leaders either underestimate what teams can deliver or have unrealistic expectations about what a team is able to do. Therefore, either the team members plod along to meet the lower expectations, or throw their hands up in despair because of unrealistic goals. If you want to challenge your team to achieve great performance, this Amazon Short can help you put the right strategies in place to move your team from merely marginal performance to great performance.
