RX for Business: A Troubleshooting Guide for Building a High-Performance Organization

Ready reference to help managers quickly perform effective organizational diagnosis related to the most common performance issues and problem areas. Based on a preliminary problem diagnosis, managers are then guided through a step-by-step process that identifies possible causes, recommends appropriate corrective actions, and even provides sufficient information to understand each possible action. Also serves as an excellent tool to use in conducting a "sanity-check" prior to implementation of planned actions. From validation of "hunches" to discovering which problems AND solutions are costly or difficult to implement or which are simply quick fixes vs. long-term solutions, this book can help managers decide what they can fix with and without outside assistance. If your organization uses management consultants, this is the ONE business book that could save you from unnecessary consulting fees or can be used to validate any recommended approach prior to committing the "big bucks."
