Synopsis

ghSMART, the bestselling team behind Who: The A Method for Hiring, returns with a breakthrough formula for how the best leaders and teams deliver results.
 
“ghSMART is the world’s top firm for helping leaders hire talented teams and run them at full power. Nothing is more important.”—Marshall Goldsmith, bestselling author of Mojo and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There
 
“The most useful book about leadership.” That is what we hope you and your team will say after finishing Power Score.
 
Is your team running at full power?
 
Only 10 percent of leaders run their teams at full power.
 
The formula you are about to learn is based on the most extensive research of its kind, spanning more than 15,000 careers with over 9 million data points. The idea has been battle-tested for more than two decades by leaders in every major industry. It works.
 
Successful leadership starts with three key questions:
 
1. Priorities—Do we have the right priorities? (Only 24 percent of leaders do.)
2. Who—Do we have the right people on the team? (Only 14 percent of leaders do.)
3. Relationships—Do we have the right relationships that deliver results? (Only 47 percent of leaders do.)
 
Learn how to calculate your team’s Power Score, and how to improve each of the three key areas of leadership. Learn what to do, and what not do, from compelling statistics and inspiring stories of those leaders who have succeeded and those who have failed.
 
You may be surprised how easy it is to read this little book. And you may be even more surprised by how fast this approach will boost your team’s results.
 
When you dial up your team’s Power Score, you will make a greater impact as a leader, help your team earn more money for your cause (whatever your cause may be), and enjoy greater career success.

Praise for Power Score
 
“Shaking distrust out of an organization is hard. But the payoff is immense. Bravo to Smart, Street and Foster for sharing their ideas about how to make that happen.”—Forbes

“[Power Score] offers insights on improving in each dimension and inspiration. It’s written briskly, in a question-and-answer format that keeps ideas clear and concise. The book’s a winner and maybe you will be too if you try its approach.”—The Globe and Mail

“The power score is the secret sauce that gives the group the information needed to fix problems. The authors provide plenty of guidance presented in an accessible Q&A format.”—Success

“I wouldn’t be surprised if Power Score became the new go-to guide for leadership. Effective teams are key in everything from healthcare to business to government to nonprofits, and this book will help organizations change the conversation about getting results.”—Atul Gawande, New York Times bestselling author of Being Mortal and The Checklist Manifesto
 
“Smart, Street, and Foster have turned more than twenty years of research on leadership into a practical, systematic approach for getting results.”—Frederick W. Smith, chairman and chief executive officer of FedEx Corporation

Goodreads review by Scott

This is a quick read, naming three critical areas for leaders to get right: Priorities (strategy/focus), Who (right people in the right roles), Relationships (alignment/collaboration).

Cuốn sách mô tả một mô hình hết sức thực dụng về lãnh đạo, nếu lãnh đạo là một con đường phát triển khó để chúng ta định ra các cột mốc quan trọng, để hiểu chúng ta đang ở đâu trong nghề lãnh đạo của mình.

Goodreads review by Kevin

If in over 20 years you conducted interviews with 15,000 leaders, and if, while doing that, you had a rigorous process for capturing what you learned; do you think you might learn something about what makes leaders successful? The good news is that you don’t have to do those interviews. The authors o......more
