FEATURED PRODUCT Built for Growth HBR Press Book Are You a Driver, an Explorer, a Crusader, or a Captain? Many factors shape the success or failure of a new business, whether it’s a startup or a venture inside a larger corporation. But the most important and least understood of these factors is the personality of the entrepreneur—and what drives his or her motivation, decision making, and leadership style. In Built for Growth, Chris Kuenne and John Danner describe four distinct types of successful entrepreneurial personalities—and show how each is motivated, makes decisions, manages, and leads their businesses differently. Use this book as your guide to building a successful business—from startup to scale-up. Buy Now

FEATURED PRODUCT HBR Guide to Performance Management Harvard Business Review Traditional approaches to tracking employee performance are increasingly coming under fire. A rigid cyclical process culminating in a yearly review often doesn’t drive employee engagement or spur improvement. Instead of discarding the practice entirely, you need to strike the right balance between flexibility and formality. The new HBR Guide to Performance Management provides best practices for creating an agile approach, while still meeting any annual organizational requirements. By understanding where standard practices succeed and where emerging tactics offer better solutions, you can customize a process to help you more effectively assess employees, close performance gaps, and ensure growth within the organization.
