<p>Business firms & public organizations have long struggled with the task of evaluating the performance of their managers & creating reward structures that truly motivate them to pursue organizational goals. Success in this vital task has been elusive. This volume presents a number of field studies by top scholars that address three key issues: 1) alternative methods of rewarding managers; 2) reward mechanisms across organizations & cultures; & 3) implementing performance evaluation schemes. Unlike most of the research done in this area, these studies look beneath the highly visible arenas of the CEO to the large, unexplored realm of middle management</p>

Performance Measurement, Evaluation, and Incentives

After describing three basic philosophies of leadership, Badaracco and Ellsworth demonstrate how leaders who hold certain prejudices or predispositions can resolve some of the most pressing daily dilemmas that managers face: Should a problem be solved through confrontation or compromise? When setting goals, is clarity or flexibility more important? To what extent should a decision reflect top-down or bottom-up influence? Through extensive interviews with prominent executives, the authors reveal why the best leaders act in a consistent, unadorned way that reflects their personalities, fundamenal beliefs, and judgments. "In its unique synthesis of practical experience and sound conceptual analysis, this book will provide stimulus, insight, and vision even to the accomplished and successful executive."-Peter F. Drucker

"Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion," asserts Jack Welch, Chairman and CEO of General Electric, in an interview featured in The Articulate Executive. This insightful collection illustrates the powerful connections between effective communication and effective leadership in the information age. While some of the articles focus on the mechanics of communication-providing applicable ideas and guidelines for improving writing skills, presenting plans, conducting interviews, and holding meetings-the emphasis is on the variable beneath the surface, such as nonverbal cues and personal agendas, which have at least as great an impact on how messages are received and acted upon as they travel up, down, and across the organization.
