Results Don't Matter: How to Refocus Your Efforts on the Things that Do Matter (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780982348994)

A pandemic of mismanagement is quietly raging. Don't take my word for it - listen to what managers are saying:

• The result is the only thing that matters.
• Whatever it takes, do it.
• I need you to be more of a team player.
• Just get it done.
• If you won't, I'll get someone who will.

These are the things managers say when they lose sight of what matters. As managers lose focus, frustrations rise, workplace culture erodes, and employees begin to pay the cost. Careers stall out. Opportunities go begging. Relationships fray. Morale sinks, and the business suffers. And so, of course, does the manager.

Results Don't Matter will help you understand this contagion, what it's costing you, and how to inoculate your people against it. And it will guide you in becoming the kind of manager that every business needs and every employee wants to work for.

Ironically, focusing on results is pushing us further away from what we want. I'll show you why results don't matter and how to leverage this little-known truth to get better results.
