Unseen results
Marcel Van der Avert
Do you desire extraordinary and lasting results? If you always keep doing what you are doing today, you will get the same results tomorrow. In this book, Marcel Van der Avert shows you how things can be done differently. Don't focus your attention exclusively on the classic key figures and approach, but also have an eye and ear for the hidden processes that can help you fulfill your ambitions. Unseen Results illustrates how neutralizing unwritten rules, limiting values and limiting beliefs work as result accelerators. An alternative method of collaboration between managers and employees also leads to unseen, positive effects. Central to this book are immediately applicable methods that lead to concrete results in any team or organization.
