Inhaltsangabe:

Gapology is the term Mark Thienes and Brian Brockhoff coined to describe what winning leaders do to identify and close performance gaps in their teams. Gapology is their process. For more than a decade, they analyzed the results, leadership behaviors and tactics of winning leaders as compared to those of leaders who were not winning. They wanted to understand how winning leaders win and if winning could be replicated. They were deeply curious about whether winning can be taught to those not winning or if winning leaders are simply born with the skills to win. As they interviewed and documented their conversations with winning leaders they found commonalities. The most amazing was that all performance gaps are either; Knowledge Gaps, Importance Gaps, Action Gaps, or some combination of the three. Gapology provides the keys to unlock these mysteries in the form of nine root solutions that, when applied intentionally, close the performance gaps quickly and permanently. Gapology is for all leaders, regardless of the size of the team or the industry in which they work. As long as people are being led, Gapology is needed. These discoveries are now at your fingertips! Achieve your full potential with Gapology!

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: As an organizational leader, Mark Thienes spent years studying human behavior, specifically the the top and bottom performers on his team. He was curious about whether winning behavior could be taught and replicated. This curiosity led him to the discovery of Gapology. The behaviors contained within Gapology, the identification and closure of performance gaps, he found to be universally present in the winning leaders and top performers and almost completely missing in the bottom performers. This led to his first book, Gapology, which has aided tens of thousands of leaders to realize their full potential and maximize their results. These years also led him to the mapping of identity and the belief that identity is a choice. These learnings and the process of identity mapping are detailed in his second book, entitled IMBAR, an acronym for the sequential process: Identity, Mindset, Behavior, Actions, Results. As Mark coached Gapology and IMBAR within many different sizes of organizations, from nonprofit to Fortune 25, he made another significant discovery. The people, teams, and organizations that were driven by Purpose, literally wrapped in Purpose, had much higher levels of engagement, discretionary effort, and productivity. Curiosity kicked in again. Can Purpose be developed by leaders and wrapped around a team? What happens when people without Purpose are given Purpose? Does productivity change? So curiosity, combined with years of research, led to the discovery of SPEED OF PURPOSE. Mark says that SPEED OF PURPOSE is his finest work. Built on many of the principles in Gapology and IMBAR, SPEED OF PURPOSE takes leadership and results to the next level.
