Reviews

Annunzio is chair and CEO of the Hudson Highland Center for High Performance, and the extensive, worldwide research she and her group completed, into how to define and secure "high performance environments that deliver exceptional results," stands behind this energizing guide to sustaining and duplicating such environments. "Success is contagious" is the stated premise of the book; upon concluding, from the research, that only a small percentage of workers are high performers, Annunzio not only explains the traits of a high performer but also recommends that managers "spread the secrets" of these workers so "you can improve the overall performance of your company." The secrets center on high performers' particular styles, techniques, and energy and how they can easily be adapted for lower-performing workers. Managers are the target audience of this book, but the information gathered and the concepts promoted here will have relevance and interest for anyone who finds business philosophy engaging.
