Synopsis

Poor employees get a disproportionate amount of attention. Why? Because they complain the loudest, create the greatest disruptions, and rely on others to assume the responsibilities that they shirk. Learn how to focus on your good employees first, and help them shift these “monkeys” back to the underperformers. Through a simple but brilliant metaphor, Todd Whitaker helps you reinvigorate your staff and transform your organization. This audio edition includes an exclusive bonus interview with the author, recorded in April 2020. Shifting the Monkey is expertly narrated by Scott Pollak. ©2012 Solution Tree Press. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
