Dr. Zenger believes the biggest challenge facing managers is that of improving the productivity of their employees. The companies that make this their paramount concern will be the winners in today’s economy. But Zenger is not content just to identify the problem. He goes on to provide fifteen specific and actionable suggestions that will help an organization shed its past and raise its performance standard. To raise productivity, Zenger stresses that leaders first must transform themselves. They must become dedicated to building environments where talent can grow and prosper. To accomplish this, leaders need to wage war on bureaucracy and flatten the organization, freeing their employees to make important decisions. They need to unleash the power of teams and then hold them accountable for results. Zenger also emphasizes the important role of training and skill development in raising competence, self-esteem and productivity.
