Book description
Corporate MVPs create extraordinary value for the organization by
consistently exceeding expectations. MVPs produce tangible and dramatic
business results; they improve the people they work with and the
organization in which they work. In fact, the future of your business
depends on this 5 to 10 percent of its very best people. But far too
often, MVPs are lost because of management missteps, or even by no
management at all.
Based on in-depth interviews with senior executives and business owners,
HR professionals and executive recruitment firms, and with MVPs
themselves, Corporate MVPs explores what makes these talented
individuals tick, how to develop and cultivate them, what it takes for
someone to become an MVP, and the important role of HR in managing this
key talent. Margaret Butteriss
