What the book is about:

Getting the people dynamic right in any workplace or team environment is critical for success. Recognising the best management style to help each individual contribute to their fullest potential is vital.

Competence and Commitment - Getting the best from your Team will help managers and leaders, whether they are on the factory floor, in the boardroom, or managing a sports team, to do what needs to be done to improve the performance of their people.

Styled as a story, Competence and Commitment defines the types of people you will find in most working environments. There will always be Kimberleys, Ryans, Sams, Helens and Tonys. Using the Competence and Commitment four-quadrant model you can improve their performance and your own.

Checklists throughout the book outline the ‘how to’ of each style to make implementation easy.

Both new managers and those who have been in their position for some time will find this book a valuable management resource.
