Most people associate performance management with the annual review, which is universally dreaded by employees, management, and HR professionals alike. It's a cookie-cutter, fear-based, top-down approach that emphasizes negatives over positives and stifles healthy career conversations.

This audiobook is about developing winners - providing salespeople with the secrets sports professionals have used over the years to help them win in highly competitive environments.
