Improve performance, increase responsibility
and accountability, build agile, capable teams, and do it with one quick read.
What would you pay for greater responsibility and performance momentum within
your team? Degrees of Strength shows you how. Short enough to read
in one plane ride, your team will be inspired to solve the problems that have
slowed success, even those tenacious ones that have plagued your team or family
for years. This is a story rooted in the professional and personal life. A
regional VP's job is on the line, and her family is, too. She needs to find a
way to turn her team's performance around and has no money to throw at the
problem. It's real. We've worked with these people. What follows is the
struggle of change as her team fights with each other—and with themselves—to
implement the new technique. In the end, they win more than they could have
imagined.
Review by Rose Thornton:
When
I first began reading Degrees of Strength
by Craig Ross and Steven Vannoy, I considered it one of the most boring books I
had ever picked up. I was intrigued by its title and blurb about a successful technique
developed by Ross and Vannoy. However, the realization that an ability to
invent a great technique does not automatically enable one with a great ability
to write about it started to grasp my mind, and I struggled to stick with the
book. However, something about it made me not want to give up on it, although
it was awkward in its wordiness and slow in its movement. About half way through,
the book took a turn, somewhat like happens to the progress toward success when
the technique is used, and this book became well worth reading. I began to see
ways I was already using this technique in my own life, and ways to further enforce
its use in positive avenues. It’s underlying message is that every person is in
control of their own actions and reactions through their own basic thinking
processes, which come from either degrees of weakness or degrees of strength,
and every person has the potential to choose to draw from the strengths and
gain moments of acceleration toward success. I will recommend this book for
everyone, especially those who need an injection of, “I am bigger than the
circumstances in my life” from time to time.
