Post Hill Press and Franklin Covey Co. Release New Book Talent Unleashed: 3 Leadership Conversations to Ignite the Unlimited Potential in PeoplePost Hill Press and Franklin Covey Co. (NYSE: FC), a leader in organizational performance improvement solutions, have partnered to release Talent Unleashed: 3 Leadership Conversations to Ignite the Unlimited Potential in People, which offers leaders in any organization powerful new insights and practices for building a high-performance work culture (Post Hill Press, on sale April 18, 2017). The book is written by a team of renowned FranklinCovey leadership experts, who share their collective knowledge gained from working with thousands of leaders in industries that span the global workforce. Leadership today requires many things, but one of the fundamental roles of a great leader is to see, recognize, and ultimately unleash the talents and strengths of others-and to create a bonding attraction for these people to the organizations for which they work so these talents and strengths are not developed and then lost to others in today's rapidly changing work environment. So how do leaders do that? While most leaders are promoted for their competence and skills, truly exceptional leaders are remembered for the impact they have on the lives of those they lead. When asked about the qualities of the best leader they ever had, most people shared that humanity, courage, concern, and deep personal interest were key behaviors exhibited and about how the leader helped people grow, develop, accomplish objectives, and find greater meaning in work and contribution. The leader genuinely cared. Talent Unleashed features 3 Leadership Conversations that any leader of a team, a project, or an organization can have to create that sense of caring and belonging so that the best and brightest people are attracted and kept and their talent is unleashed toward what matters most. The book teaches the core principles, framework, and process that enable leaders to release the talent, intelligence, capability, and creativity in people, inspiring leaders and teams to create a culture rich in trust, clarity, and empowerment. The three ongoing Leadership Conversations leaders need to have with team members to inspire and enable them to contribute and perform to the very best of their ability, and to help leaders create a trusting, synergistic workplace where employees feel confidant and empowered, are: The 3 Leadership Conversations
These conversations are the work of effective leaders distilled downto its essence. Voice conversations help team members define their unique talents and contributions. Performance conversations clarify expectations and recognize achievement. Clear-the-Path Conversations help identify what team members and leaders can do to remove obstacles and help facilitate success. The conversations are based on timeless principles of effectiveness in human interaction, and are at the very core of the content of the book and the process of the conversations. They include Contribution, Trust, Synergy (News - Alert) and Empathy, which are explored in detail in the book. Organizational culture represents the environment created by the collective habitual behaviors of the people in the organization. When people's actions and attitudes are aligned with true principles as they interact with one another, the culture literally changes. And the nature and frequency of genuine Leadership Conversations held in any organization are a huge part of the culture and change, as they significantly strengthen relationships and unleash the talents of those who are led and those who lead. Talent Unleashed will enable any leader who reads the book to teach and nurture the foundational principles that create a lasting culture of top performance.
