In The Performance Challenge, Jerry W. Gilley, Nathaniel W. Boughton, and Ann Maycunich draw from their extensive research, teaching, and consulting experience to present a comprehensive approach to performance management that will help executives in any organization learn to establish a dynamic balance among people, processes, and strategic objectives. Ultimately, The Performance Challenge outlines a vision of a new type of corporate structure - the "developmental" organization - defined by its abilities to enhance the collective talent of its employees for the purposes of better serving its customers and shareholders.
