Winning Well Karin Hurt

It can feel like a rigged game. Executives set impossible goals, so managers drive their teams to burnout trying to deliver. Employees demand connection and support, so managers focus on relationships and fail to make the numbers. The fallout is stress, frustration, and disengagement, and not just among team members two-thirds of managers report being disengaged.

To succeed, managers need balance: they must push people to achieve while creating an environment that makes them truly want to. "Winning Well" offers a quick, practical action plan complete with examples, stories, online assessments, and more for getting the results you need. Managers learn how to:

Stamp out the corrosive win-at-all-costs mentality
Focus on the game, not just the score
Reinforce behaviors that produce results
Set clear expectations delegating outcomes rather than focusing on process
Celebrate even small successes
Correct poor performance using the INSPIRE accountability method
Demonstrate confidence and humility
Energize teams to sustain excellent performance
And more

Today s hypercompetitive economy has created tense, overextended workplaces. Keep it productive, rewarding, and even fun with this one-stop success kit."
