Achieving high performance through people is one of the most challenging aspects of leadership. Balancing good culture and high performance is never easy in any organisation. You want your people to be happy and enjoy coming to work, but you also need them to be productive and produce results.

Many leaders believe the two just can t coexist and that it s impossible to drive people to deliver results while allowing them to have fun and enjoy being at work. Australia s own Culture Queen Elaine Jobson guarantees that it's not only possible but essential if you want to build a company that achieves sustainable performance over the long term. She sets out how to do this in this very practical, easy-to-follow book, comprising five parts:

1. The relationship performance and culture

2. Leading a high-performing, happy culture

3. Building high-performance teams

4. Designing your high-performance culture

5. Making lasting culture change.

By following the strategies in High Performance through Happy People, a leader with the desire to invest the time and focus needed to implement the change required can be confident of stellar results.
