The Power of Seven Second Chances (2nd Edition)
The Power of Seven Second Chances (2nd Edition)
Jack Welch was named “Manager of the Century” by Fortune magazine partly because under his leadership, GE stock went up 4,000 percent. Welch, a ruthless believer in productivity, subscribed to the idea of “hiring the best and firing the rest.” Welch was undeniably successful, so arguing with his approach requires a clear paradigm shift, and that’s exactly what this book is about - an approach diametrically opposed to the idea of “firing the rest.” Leading organizations requires an empathetic approach – an approach that both recognizes employees as resources worth developing and empowers them to treat and lead others empathetically as well.This book is for those leaders who need to make the most of the people they have by using evaluation as an information-gathering mechanism to guide growth and development.

About the authors
Dr. Nicole D. Price and Dr. Ian Roberts
Dr. Nicole D. Price is author-publisher of a successful diversity and inclusion workshop, conducted with hundreds of people from various backgrounds all across the United States. Her strategy is to use private, reflective practice (found in this book) to do the “hard” work, which then allows for a much more productive and fruitful, way-forward discussion within group settings. Instead of tears she gets standing ovations at the conclusion of her sessions. Price is also a contributing author to the new book Cultivating Culture (Red Letter Publishing, 2016).
