Workplace performance experts Don Brown and Bill Hawkins have created a revolutionary approach to energizing your team.

Now you can drive growth--by targeting and empowering the right people.

Bring Out the Best in Every Employee shows you exactly how to leverage the untapped asset that's already on your payroll.

• Identify and target the core of his or her team
• Discover what the silent majority of the workforce actually wants
• Create a personal, actionable engagement plan for every employee
• Master the techniques to develop the capacity of Solid Citizens

Most important, you'll learn what drives today's workforce . . . and what employees want from you in order to perform. By surveying more than 6,000 workers around the world, the authors identified what to stop, start, and continue doing to increase your return-on-leadership.
