A clear, believable and implementable business strategy is the bedrock of a high performing organization. Without it, your employees lack direction, are confused about where they are headed and why, and spend far too much time in unproductive or misguided efforts.

Back in the day, culture was something you became exposed to when you traveled to a foreign country. And employee performance was as easy to manage as uttering the words, “work harder or you’re fired!” But modern employees and workplaces are far more complex. Counterintuitive management theories now tell us that annual reviews do more harm than good , and people must make space during the day for naps and meditation to enhance productivity.
