Getting your employees "on board" with the company's overall mission and strategic goals is the focus of this book, leading toward optimisation of resources, budgets, and employee talent. Common sense decrees that without employees who are engaged and motivated - and aligned - with the company's desires and needs, the organisation will not perform to its potential, revenues will falter, and market shares decline. The challenge that such an alignment entails is ever-present and complex, though the difficulties it represents are not insurmountable. The book highlights practical leadership practices - a number of optimal approaches - that help to point employers in the right direction toward efficiency, productivity, and ultimate value for all stakeholders.
