The #1 driver of profit growth is people growth, but current processes aren’t working for businesses. In The Strength of Talent, Mike Goldman offers tools to grow your people and your profit. As a leadership consultant and coach for over 35 years, Mike has seen the weaknesses in traditional approaches to managing team and individual performance: why annual reviews fail, why leaders often invest in the wrong people, why one top performer outshines several lesser ones, and why a "good performer" who’s a bad culture fit isn’t truly valuable. Mike introduces a powerful framework to assess, develop, and—when necessary—let go of team members who don’t fit. He also unveils the Talent Density Indicator, a new metric to track progress and accountability in strengthening team talent. CEOs and leaders who apply these ideas will see higher growth, greater fulfillment, and reduced frustration, ultimately enhancing their teams and reigniting their passion for their business.
