Features: Corporate training once flourished worldwide but is now a thing of the past, its glory days gone. Most enduring, high-performing global companies have moved beyond the trend of following the crowd and have become more rational in their approach to corporate training, focusing more on effectively addressing internal employee performance issues. During this transition, these companies need the help of performance consultants even more. These consultants assist companies in identifying performance issues and proposing solutions to improve performance rather than training employees. However, performance consultants are not yet free to roam this new frontier. To enhance their skills, they need even more support. This is where the value of this book lies: it helps practicing consultants refine their professional skills, assists trainers preparing to enter this field in their career transition, provides companies with tools to understand themselves, and helps managers improve their management skills. From the reader's perspective, the greatest feature of this book is its simple structure and easy-to-learn, masterable content. The book provides numerous charts, checklists, and exercises to help readers learn and master its material. Whether you are a consultant, corporate trainer, or business manager, you will undoubtedly find great help in this book.
