Delivering High Performance

Douglas Long’s Third Generation Leadership and the Locus of Control focused on individuals’ values, world views and the behaviours needed to facilitate leadership in the future. Here, in Delivering High Performance, he concentrates on the individual, unit and organisational performance tied to Third Generation Leadership. Leaders constantly seek high levels of performance and staff engagement; but achieving either depends on the competence and commitment of individuals or groups. Many people are competent to do things, but not prepared to do them. They lack the willingness, confidence or motivation - the readiness to perform. You can have the most committed and capable people, yet still miss targets due to other factors impacting performance. This is a ’How to ...’ book for those excited by the prospect of a Third Generation Leadership approach but who still have to grapple with performance issues.
