“Thrive: The Leader’s Guide to Building a High-Performance Culture” by Andrew Freedman with Paul Elliott is a must-read book for leaders who are ready to transform their organizations for the better.The book is well structured, broken down into a process that is easy to follow. I found the writing detailed but accessible and pleasantly free of business-school jargon. Instead, the authors explain the process (which is backed by research), provide compelling examples and case studies, and then provide leaders with the tools to go and implement these kinds of changes and improvements within their organizations. It makes for a winning, and highly readable, formula.I particularly appreciate the rigor and research behind the high-performance framework presented in the book. This is a process and that is backed by organizational psychology and the study of human behavior and performance, and tested out over decades within organizations. I also really enjoyed the inclusion of the Accelerators – tools and resources you can download directly to begin doing the thoughtful analysis and planning required to institute lasting organizational change.If you look at your organization and can see the barriers—or maybe more importantly if you can’t see them but know that they are there—you owe it to yourself to check out Thrive.

If you are looking for the right approach to building a high performing organization - this is definitely it. This book is my kind of read - it gets to the point. Honestly, I've read a lot of performance improvement books over the years, and a lot of them are simply curated business cases unrelated to one another, motivational management mantras, or other fluffy stuff. Often interesting, but rarely helpful. What I like about this book is that the authors lay out a logical system for improving performance by exposing and nurturing the attributes of star performers. It isn't cheerleading - it is telling you precisely how to get results. I guarantee you will find yourself nodding in agreement throughout the book, because it just makes so much sense.I think anyone in a management role of any kind could use the approach laid out here to make their people better at what they do. Read it, and then read it again. You're welcome.

This book, Thrive, immediately inspired me and my managers to create a better environment for our teams to not only succeed but THRIVE. I powered through the book and will read it again to reenforce the pertinent information. Andrew's passion for helping companies like mine is evident in the depth and thoroughness within the book.This is not only a book for businessmen and women. Everyone will take away something that can be used in daily life/family life as well.This is not your run of the mill read.Take the time to read it, absorb it, and then get ready to implement.Thank you to Andrew for this gift.

“Thrive: The Leader’s Guide to Building a High-Performance Culture” by Andrew Freedman with Paul Elliott is a fabulous resource for helping leaders raise the bar on performance. Clearly written, well researched, and based on years of experience, Freedman and Elliott offer guidance that many organizations desperately need.

A well-written and well-planned book. It is packed with great research as well as cases that make it an easy read.The information is timely especially as organizations are working to keep momentum going and employees happy during all the workplace/day changes.I have recommended it to many people and should be an addition to leadership and business programs.

This book is pure GOLD for any executive looking to improve their leadership and create a high-performing/winning culture. Not many leadership books give you the opportunity to walk away with actual tools and templates that you can use immediately. This book has made me better and I encourage ANYONE looking to level-up their leadership in 2021 to read and take action – lets go!

THRIVE is a very practical and actionable book that will definitely help leaders improve their organizations. The Exemplary Performance System is particularly useful for overcoming most organizational challenges. I also love the idea of the Role Excellence Profile as a catalyst for change, as well as the notion that leaders must start with a clear definition of success and then reverse-engineer their organizations to enable that.

A lot of books around performance are beautifully written but offer little in the way of actionable moves. Freedman and Elliott (co-authors) teach sound principles but then go a step or two further and walk you through the simple processes that must be applied to create the results you seek. Check it out. Worth a look.

Good book and clear concept to read
