<b>Inspire performance and prove your leadership impact</b> <p><i>Prove It!</i> is the executive guide to improving organisational performance through the practice of evidence-based leadership. More than ever before, the world is demanding transparency and accountability from organisational leaders, and there is a growing push to hold leaders responsible for the performance of their organisation. Many executives panic at the thought of what transparency might reveal and how they might be held accountable, but others relish the opportunity to showcase their organisation's performance. The difference is in the leadership methodology. The best leaders already know how their organisation is performing, and that it has improved during their tenure – and they can prove it because they practise evidence-based leadership. This book offers a clear blueprint for building on your existing skills and performance management systems to build a truly high performance organisation. <p>Just three personal leadership habits and three organisation-wide habits can transform your organisation into the powerhouse you know it can be. With a simple methodology and a focus on practical results, this book can help you: <ul> <li>Set a strategic direction that really does inspire organisational excellence</li> <li>Gain a true picture of your organisation's performance</li> <li>Master the habits that help you lead a high-performance culture</li> <li>Improve your organisation objectively, measurably and quickly</li> </ul> <p>If an organisation can only be as good as its leadership, it's reasonable to place the burden of performance responsibility on those who make the decisions. A leader's job is to inspire, motivate and guide, and those who do it well are already raising the bar. <i>Prove It!</i> gives you a practical model for measurable, real-world results, starting today.

<p><b>Learn the principles, habits and mindsets for evidence-based leadership</b> <p><b>CAN YOU PROVE HOW WELL YOUR ORGANISATION PERFORMS?</b> <p>Project completion, measures of activity, and even profit, are not convincing evidence of high performance. The world wants more transparency—to see the truth about how organisations are performing in fulfilling their purpose. <p>And yet, leaders are struggling to inspire their managers and employees to reach their strategic and operational goals; struggling to inspire a high-performance culture; and struggling with what transparency may reveal about their organisation's true performance. But the best leaders aren't panicking because they practise evidence-based leadership. <p><i>Prove It!</i> is the first-of-its-kind guidebook to evidence-based leadership. Based on the principles of PuMP<sup>®</sup>, a practical and engaging approach to organisational performance measurement, this book from performance measure specialist and PuMP<sup>®</sup> creator Stacey Barr gives leaders a tangible, translucent way to quantifiably prove how well their organisation is performing. Learn how to: <ul> <li>concretely communicate goals so everyone truly understands what they are contributing to</li> <li>create useful and meaningful measures of performance that people actually use, value, and remain excited about</li> <li>tightly align your business strategies to the goals too important to track with trivial counts or milestones</li> <li>make lasting improvements in performance that produce higher returns on investment.</li> </ul> <p>Making the best strategic decisions and being a true evidence-based leader comes down to knowing the facts, and <i>Prove It!</i> gives you everything you need to measure performance and improve it.
