Publisher's Synopsis
In demanding times how do some individuals add value in ways that address
'mission' and 'vision' and move forward to high levels of performance with
influence and impact?
Is it possible to change the way you present yourself to the world? The answer is
'probably not' at the most fundamental level. In terms of basic personality style,
it's not easy to change who you are at the deepest level, where spontaneous
thoughts, actions and beliefs originate. But that's not what is required here. Our
research shows that it is possible to make changes in your typical stance in the
world, to change a prevailing outlook, and to develop those behaviors that put
you at the forefront of a new way of contributing that this new age demands. Take
a lesson from those who have made those changes and who have become
'indispensable'.
The 'Phoenix Factor Model' is a practical tool, based on hundreds of surveys of
executives and hiring managers, in companies ranging from Fortune 100 to small
entrepreneurial starts ups. Here is a blueprint for individual development and
high-level organizational contribution.

orientations' that lay the groundwork for high-performance.

indispensable.
