Squeezing extra performance from teams Consistent and sustainable high performance from teams has never been achieved by simply instructing them to work better harder and faster, and issuing veiled threats if they don’t.

Aligning Personal Objectives to Organisational Strategy Too often, people working in operational roles see strategy as something that doesn’t affect them; they are just there to do their jobs.
