IF YOU CAN READ A GPS DEVICE, YOU CAN NAVIGATE--AND SUSTAIN--YOUR COMPANY’S PATH TOWARD DRAMATIC GROWTH AND PROFIT 
SIMPLE IS BETTER! Businesses today are overwhelmed by complex, expensive, and time-consuming initiatives. These ideas sound great in the boardroom but fail when deployed in the real world. You need a business tool that takes your organization where it needs to go and is so simple and repeatable that anyone can use it. Just like a GPS helps get us where we are going, Leading Your Business Forward lays out a proven but simple process that any business can follow! Using the same five simple steps in every car's global positioning system--Acquiring, Settings, Where To, Recalculating, and Arriving--this book demonstrates just how quickly you can energize and transform your workplace. Leading Your Business Forward utilizes a simple Leadership GPS to show you how to:
<ul>
<li>DETERMINE YOUR ORGANIZATION’S LONG-TERM GOALS </li>
<li>ENGAGE YOUR STAFF TO WORK TOWARD THEM </li>
<li>GAUGE AND IMPROVE PERFORMANCE ON AN ONGOING BASIS </li>
<li>MANAGE SUCCESS SO IT STICKS</li>
</ul>
You will learn how to apply GPS-based methods to mobilize operations while incorporating "destination-focused" initiatives. The authors explain why high-performing companies devote enormous energy toward three vital components: goals, people, and systems. And while the world's most profitable corporations all share a clearly defined vision and mission, what's often missing is a direct link between tactical operational goals and strategic direction. Not anymore. With Leading Your Business Forward you'll learn to incorporate measurable goals into your company's daily regimen. Plus, you'll have the management tools to maintain teams that are engaged, focused, accountable--and poised to drive results. Leading Your Business Forward provides everything you need to determine baseline indicators of capability and measure employee engagement, while setting a course for transformation--from the inside out. Set Your Company's Course for Unparalleled Growth! Over the past decade, business leaders have been given a number of different road maps to success, all of which promised viable how-to solutions for business growth. They were very good maps, yet, with few exceptions, they did not guide us to a sustainable level of success. What's missing? A true GPS for leaders. Utilizing the five simple steps associated with your car's GPS system, this guide shows executives how to manage expectations and measure employee engagement and accountability while boosting productivity. Having brought their critical insight and innovation to bear at firms like Michelin Tire, Harley-Davidson, Learjet, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Styrolution, DuPont, Boar's Head, Kroger, Revlon, Pfizer, Genentech, and Merck, the authors now present the ultimate resource for leaders. LEARN HOW TO:<ul>
<li>ESTABLISH KEY BENCHMARK INDICATORS </li>
<li>DESIGN LEADERSHIP "PARAMETERS" </li>
<li>SET DESTINATION GOALS </li>
<li>TRACK COMPANY PROGRESS AND INCORPORATE ACCOUNTABILITY </li>

<li>IMPLEMENT BUSINESS-FOCUSED SCORECARDS TO EDUCATE, MOTIVATE, AND FACILITATE</li>
</ul>

Whether you run a worldwide company with offices on every continent, or a department or small business with less than ten employees, the process explained in this book will enable you to put yourself in full control. There can be no doubt about it, leaders of businesses and organizations today are expected to do more with less with the result that whole layers of management have been eliminated. Those who remain have no choice but to take up the slack, and many feel "buried alive." This book can change that. It explains a process any manager can put in place to spread out the workload and bring about a new sense of focus, urgency and accountability among the staff. It's a process that's already in place and working like clockwork in a number of Fortune 500 companies as well as the Department of Defense, several big city governments, and some of the largest airports in the world. What this book provides is a system comprised of a few simple rules involving scorecards, action registers, and interlocking teams that will get a business moving forward at light speed. A primary reason is that everyone quickly knows what he or she must do to succeed personally, as well as what needs to be done for the organization to reach its goals and succeed.
