Corporate MVPs: Managing Your Company's Most Valuable Performers (JB Foreign Imprint Series - Canada.)

Product Description:

In most businesses, there are a few key people who are responsible for generating the most revenue, driving quality, developing great customer relations, creating the new products and services, and increasing the reputation and value of the business. These exceptionally talented people are the Corporate MVPs.

Corporate MVPs create extraordinary value for the organization by consistently exceeding expectations. MVPs produce tangible and dramatic business results; they improve the people they work with and the organization in which they work. In fact, the future of your business depends on this 5 to 10 percent of its very best people. But far too often, MVPs are lost because of management missteps, or even by no management at all.

While senior executives and managers recognize that one of their most important jobs is to recruit, develop, and retain talented employees, it is critical to know their MVPs and actively manage their development and retention. But how do you identify and manage your MVPs differently from the rest of your high-talent pool?

Corporate MVPs is for senior executives, human resources professionals, and anyone in an organization who must manage this talent or who wants to learn how to become an MVP. It explains how to:

• recognize and develop MVPs • protect your critical MVP assets • increase your MVP pool through recruitment • identify, sign, and integrate MVPs from outside the company • create an attractive environment that MVPs will thrive in • recover a difficult MVP, and what to do when enough is enough

Based on in-depth interviews with senior executives and business owners, HR professionals and executive recruitment firms, and with MVPs themselves, Corporate MVPs explores what makes these talented individuals tick, how to develop and cultivate them, what it takes for someone to become an MVP, and the important role of HR in managing this key talent.

It features practical tools, questionnaires, and checklists, as well as interviews and examples from senior executives at a wide range of organizations in a variety of industries, including: Continental Airlines, A.T. Kearney Executive Search, J. Walter Thompson, Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, MIT Sloan School of Management, Honeywell International, Royal Bank of Canada, Limited Brands, State Street Corporation, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Spencer Stuart, and many others.
