Résumé

How to stay on course and achieve extraordinary performance in a sea of change

In today's change-or-die business environment, companies that achieve the highest levels of performance are "robust organizations"--those that adapt quickly and without losing their strategic direction. Distilling decades of research conducted by Rand, one of the nation's most respected business think tanks, The Four Pillars of High Performance explores the strategies to truly manage change. Using examples, author Paul C. Light extracts powerful lessons for managers and executives, and he provides readers with:

Never-before-published research by Rand on the shared traits of the highest-performing companies
Cutting-edge techniques for improving performance across an organization
Valuable insights into the five major attributes of agility, alignment, metrics, incentives, and impact
Case studies and vignettes drawn from the experiences of industry leaders in every sector
