'DNA' of High-Performing Workgroups Revealed in Global Study Global
standard for high performance, practical steps for achieving
sustainable, profitable growth detailed in major new management
book NEW YORK, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- WHAT: Contagious
Success: Spreading High Performance Throughout Your Organization
(Portfolio, 2004), a dynamic new business book based on the most
comprehensive global study of what drives high performance ever
completed. The book reveals the fastest, most effective way for
companies to achieve profitable growth: increasing the performance
of an organization's best workgroups, and sharing the secrets of
these groups with the "almost theres" - those workgroups in the
middle of the pack. Too many organizations focus on minimizing
failure by eliminating or improving low-performing groups, rather
than spreading success. WHY: Many companies have already
right-sized, cut costs, improved efficiency, and flattened the org
chart. Yet profitable and sustainable growth remains elusive. Susan
Lucia Annunzio and her team undertook a worldwide study of more
than 3,000 knowledge workers, seeking the factors that accelerate
or inhibit high performance in their workgroups. The shocking news
is that only 10 percent of all workgroups in the study qualify as
high performing. Annunzio's big insight- supported by the
groundbreaking research- is that the characteristics that drive
high performance in these groups are the same around the world and
can be replicated using internal resources. WHEN: Available upon
request are interviews with the author, advanced galley copies of
the book and press materials. The book will be available in
bookstores November 8, 2004. (More information can be found at
