Reviews

Contrary to popular belief, Kelley believes that star employees are made, not born. His nine new breakthrough strategies are "initiative, networking, self-management, perspective, followership, leadership, teamwork, organizational savvy and show-tell."
Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.

What is the difference between a star performer and an average worker? From his research into this question, Kelley developed his consulting practice in productivity improvement, which focuses upon the challenge for a company to adopt a common understanding of star performance and to add as many workers as possible to the star category. The latter is the aim of this book. We learn that talented people are the company, and that companies are finally realizing that star performers are not substitutable commodities but instead are wealth-creating assets. The key to being a star performer is not brain capacity or personality, but rather an ability to function in the workplace using the author's nine strategies. These strategies are initiative, networking, self-management, perspective, followership, leadership, teamwork, organizational savvy, and the ability to persuade the right audience with the right message. By adopting Kelley's star performance work skills, brain-powered employees will "get a life" beyond work, "keep a life" at work, and set goals never dreamed possible. Mary Whaley
