- Synopsis
- In practical terms, the pressure of managing your employees and your own work on a daily basis doesn't allow you to examine what's happening step by step. You manage within a process-traditionally called work-and you are often juggling many tasks and priorities at once. In this chapter, bestselling author and practicing psychiatrist Edward Hallowell encapsulates the five steps that comprise what he calls the Cycle of Excellence: Select, Connect, Play, Grapple and Grow, and Shine. It is the synthesis of these five steps-all the elements working together-that leads to excellence and sustained peak performance on the part of those who work for you. In eight concise pages filled with practical tips and advice, this chapter serves as a quick-reference guide to help you meet the challenge all managers face: to help people overcome obstacles, both internal and external, and enter the self-sustaining Cycle of Excellence. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 7 of "Shine: Using Brain Science to Get the Best from Your People."
