PERFORMANCE PIPELINE hjælper ledere på alle ledelsesniveauer med at opnå succes i et komplekst organisatorisk miljø. Bogen viser, hvordan arbejdet i organisationer flyder fra top til bund gennem ledelsesniveauerne. For hvert niveau afdækker og forklarer Stephen Drotter, hvilke resultater ledere skal skabe, og hvilke opgaver og beslutninger de skal sende videre, så ledere på organisationens øvrige niveauer også opnår succes. PERFORMANCE PIPELINE sætter fokus på de tre afgørende forretningsmæssige behov: · Hvordan man forbedrer den forretningsmæssige performance gennem unikke formål på hvert ledelsesniveau og klarhed over de resultater, der skal opnås. · Hvordan man gør ledere succesrige ved at få lederne på de enkelte ledelsesniveauer til at sende opgaver og beslutninger videre til de øvrige niveauer. · Hvordan man hjælper ledere med at foretage transitionen til et nyt niveau og fjerner performanceforhindringer.
