Performance Excellence Made Simple

I have been working with state agencies to upgrade strategic plans and develop measurable performance goals, and this book has been an excellent resource. I loaned my personal copy of Stewart's book to the manager in charge of one department's effort. The next week I saw my copy was marked up and well used. The following week he gave me a brand new copy as he had purchased new books for his entire management team. The strength of the book is it gives you a common sense approach for getting started and following through with a plan for improving performance excellence. If your organization is even considering making an application for a Baldrige-based award, this is a great tool!

Professional experience and observational skills

In A Portable Mentor For Organizational Leaders, hospital medical director Kendall L. Stewart combines his professional experience and observational skills with the wisdom of the frontline managers and supervisors of Southern Ohio Medical Center, to offer the reader a solid primer to achieving excellence in structured leadership. A Portable Mentor For Organizational Leaders is a practical, straightforward, "reader friendly" management guide and covers how to most efficiently direct others ranging from such considerations as the proper tone to take and the priorities of a leader, to the rules of engagement in dealing with others, handling criticism, choosing one's battles wisely, and much more. A Portable Mentor For Organizational Leaders is thoughtful and thought provoking, highly recommended reading for any manager having to deal with employee absenteeism, staff infighting, low productivity, customer dissatisfaction, vendor incompetence, and more.

A must read for team leaders and those desiring to be one!

Dr. Stewart and the team at SOMC have composed a must-read for every team leader and those aspiring to organizational leadership. Dr. Stewart takes concepts and principals of which we are all aware and makes them real. He allows us to see ourselves and the others with whom we interact at work in "3-D", offering insights for dealing with every different kind of leadership style. He even reminds us that we don't have to act on every situation. He actually gives permission to ignore certain behaviors and instructs how to deal with negativity and naysayers in the workplace. The book is most helpful in validating what I feel I'm doing right while setting me straight in areas I'm needing to improve in my quest to maintain my effectiveness in my leadership role in my company.Reading is a luxury for busy people or at least it is for me, but if you only have time for one great book to put you to the top, this is definitely the one!

Excellent Reference Book for the Organizational Manager

Excellent. Well written, excellent ideas with firm experience behind each chapter. Very good book for classroom or busy professionals who need that extra edge.

Excellent Guide for new Managers

This book is excellent. The writing is well done and the ideas have plenty of practice to back them up.
