By using science, the authors examine the best practices of great teamwork, the how-to of building high-performing organizations, and the code to building a winning culture and driving sustainable growth.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e-Paula Ketter, \u003c\/b\u003eeditor of TD magazine, Association for Talent Development\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"With an unashamed focus on data and empirical evidence, Accelerating Performance stands out from the sea of performance and change management books that are based on anecdotes and theory. As such, it is essential reading for anyone serious about analysing or improving organisational, team or individual performance.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-\u003cb\u003eManagement-Issues\u003c\/b\u003e \"It is absolutely true that 'the soft stuff is the hard stuff' and that most HR departments need less PowerPoint and more Excel. Accelerating Performance offers a sharp analysis of how successful companies 'crack the code' to build a winning culture and drive sustainable growth-and do it faster than their competitors.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-\u003cb\u003eJim Smith\u003c\/b\u003e, president and CEO, Thomson Reuters \"In a continually disrupted marketplace, companies live and die by their ability to accelerate their performance. The genius of this book is its rigorous analysis of the blockers to acceleration and how to remove them-and its insights into the agility required to transform a business. It is eye-opening stuff.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-\u003cb\u003eMark Wilson\u003c\/b\u003e, group CEO, Aviva \"Using a deeply analytical and forensic approach, the authors tease out why some companies have avoided the drag of underperformance. Their detailed analysis of these 'superaccelerators' reinforces some deeply held beliefs but also uncovers crucial insights about what it takes to succeed. Filled with insights, action points, and wisdom-this is a must-read for any leader tasked with building a high-performance organization.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-\u003cb\u003eLynda Gratton\u003c\/b\u003e, professor of management practice, London Business School, and coauthor of The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity \"Health care is delivered in teams. Whether it's in the operating theater, the hospital, or in the community, it is how we work together that determines our ability to save lives.

Who wouldn't want their company to be in Colin and Sharon's group of super-performers? Drawing on original research, illuminating cases, and practical advice, they show us a surprising-even unfashionable-route for companies to get there: not by reinventing themselves but by becoming significantly better versions of who they already are!
