Through Value Creation
by David Salyers, Dr Randy Ross

ativity, the majority of the American
workforce could be described as
“severely lacking.” Too many people
just go through the motions, viewing
work as something they “have “to do
rather than something they “love” to
do. This translates into lackluster per-
formance, lost opportunities, and a
staggering loss of profits. So how does
a team leader turn a business-as-usual
team into a “remarkable” one?

neurs, including: how to get started
