Performance Power Grid uses the metaphor of an actual electrical grid to explain how business leaders can maximize the way their people interact and work together. It offers a framework that helps managers channel the energy of employees into the proper tasks, processes, and projects, leading to higher productivity and more team focus on the jobs that truly matter.
Interesting take on how to align not only people but the goals and tasks of an organization to help drive and maximize productivity. It has clear analogies and offers good insight. The concept of continually assessing progress (or lack of progress) to realign towards improvement is one that most organizations need to remember. It is way too easy to get sidetracked with the small problems and lose focus. I recommend you check out this book.
