Performance Eating Rabbits

<p>Creating robust team and organizational improvement can be daunting—like a magician who must pull a rabbit out of a hat! Unfortunately what often results is more a Performance-Eating Rabbit which is not cute or cuddly and is not pulled from a hat. This rabbit emerges from a different orifice…and has one priority: to devour and destroy the hoped-for performance in an organization. The authors of Performance-Eating Rabbits describe seven types of these rabbits and share the behaviors along with unique methods and innovative tools used to mitigate their destruction while also harnessing their power.<br /><br />In a jovial frank style they use story and metaphor to help create new possibilities and ways of working to get better results. Each chapter is followed by a self-reflection activity and the authors share some of their own anecdotes applying the concepts to real-life challenges—or the wild crazy and elusive “rabbits.” There are also opportunities to practice the tools and principles of each chapter and apply them to a current situation—creating an action plan to leverage what the reader has just experienced.<br /><br /> </p>
