Managing the Core

What's in the Core?

The current business environment is tough for everyone.  Most business leaders and managers are being asked to do more with fewer people while spending as little as possible.  Oh, and at the same time you can't let quality slip!

Managing the Core shows you how to succeed in this environment.  The book lays out a practical approach to leading your company or team to where you need to go.  You'll learn how to deploy a strategy so your team can deliver top performance and then turn on a dime when conditions change.  You'll learn how to engage operations so you can really do more with what you currently have.  And, as important as anything else these days, you'll learn how to develop a culture of cost consciousness so your team runs effectively and efficiently without requiring painful cost-cutting initiatives when times get tough.

"Managing the CORE will make everyone who reads it a better manager."

The core elements of successful management fell into place for Chris when he was assigned the task of turning around the performance of failing manufacturing plants. 

Years of research and hands-on management experience in multiple industries and 19 countries helped Chris develop an approach to management that improves performance fast.
