People, Place, Program

OK, so now that I've finally finished Genius at Work it's time for the next project - to re-release my two books Change Magic and NLP in Business. I found these books to be very popular and well received, but I felt that they were too out of date with what I think people will benefit from, based on my day to day experiences.

I've just been reading up on the thoughts of a couple of well known business 'gurus'; Michael Gerber and Seth Godin. Every now and then, someone comes along who turns conventional thinking on its head

Here's a good starting point to find out what they were both up to.

So Gerber says systemise and Godin says innovate.

Many years ago, a wise man told me a story which a wise man had told him. And now I'm telling you. Does that make me wise? He said that in any business or organisation, there are three parts:

The question is; where would you start?

With the people?

With the place, the actual office space or location - or maybe the culture in this day and age?

Or with the program, what it is that you actually do, the product or service?

Just take a moment to answer that question before reading further...

Genius at Work - Imminent Release!

Today's businesses are more and more dependent on people. As processes have become more automated, the ability to lead, to make clear decisions and to build powerful customer relationships makes the difference between a high performing business and an average one.

Talent management, succession planning and leadership development are high on the agenda of all HR professionals who want to contribute to the success of a business through its people.

Yet, all too often, organisations seek the answers from outside. Recruiters look for high performers who can 'hit the ground running', trainers, consultants and business schools are used to bring in new skills and knowledge, and executives look to external role models and stereotypes for the clues to higher performance.

But what if the keys to your success are already within your business?

In Genius at Work, Peter Freeth shows you how to identify the innate talents of your higher performers and share their unique skills within the whole business. This unique approach:

* Preserves and sustains your unique organisational culture

* Nurtures your talent, increasing retention and

* Protects your organisation's Intellectual Property

If you're looking for high performance in your organisation, you won't find it 'out there'. You'll find it right here, in Genius at Work.
