How to Get Results From Other People

The 7 Performance Drivers (7PD) is a two-way leadership and communication tool for office professionals.  It teaches people how to get the results they need from the people they work with, on-time, as expected in an open, flexible way.

The 7 Performance Drivers identifies the 7 types of performance styles that get peak results from other people at work.  They work on subordinates, peers and even your boss. This tool provides a common language and framework to pre-empt and avoid conflict by getting people on to the same page on how decisions will be made on key areas of responsibility.  

How is the 7PD's used?
The  7 Performance Drivers is used: 1) when assigning a task or project; 2) when making key decisions; 3) when diagnosing performance issues with a key employee.  7PD is also used in the Role Driver job description system to clarify shared responsibilities in formal job descriptions. Finally, the 7PD is used as an executive coaching tool to help senior leaders unravel and resolve difficult people challenges.
