New Leadership Book by High-Performance Expert Heidi Pozzo Offers Practical, Actionable Advice to Achieve New Heights
VANCOUVER, Wash., July 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Why do some companies outperform their competition, even during vast changes or market volatility? What differentiates high-performing companies from those that just get by? Heidi Pozzo, award winning business leader, shares the secrets in her new book Leading the High-Performing Company.
Leading demystifies performance. This transformational guide provides the crucial tools and insights to leaders to grow their business and outperform their peers. It pinpoints how successful leaders and companies position themselves to lead in their industries.
"To be a high-performing business, high-performing leaders must be present to set the direction and focus the organization. Leading reveals the symbiotic nature of leaders and businesses they lead. And when they are both performing at their best, life is better for everyone. Leaders learn why and discover the actions necessary to elevate their organization to new heights and grow as a leader," said Pozzo, president of Pozzo Consulting, which works with C-Suite leaders to shape growth and change strategies to dramatically increase the value of their businesses.
"Being high-performing does not occur via checklist. It is a state of being. It is about continual growth, innovation, and focus," she said. Achieving high-performance requires having nine building blocks in place. They are encompassed in the following four parts of the book:
- Staying relevant: purpose and innovation
- Engaging the team and customers to drive growth
- Achieving dramatic results and keeping score
- Becoming a leader who is a fine-tuned machine
Pozzo shares lessons from her work transforming companies—both as a C-suite executive in her corporate life and consulting with executives. Real-world examples bring the concepts to life based on the experiences of the Pozzo, as well as accomplished leaders. Leading provides actionable insights to accelerate business today.
