Thrive
Andrew Freedman & Paul Elliott
Thrive provides leaders with a clear blueprint for building a high-performance culture. Drawing on extensive experience in change management, organizational development, and performance consulting, Andrew Freedman and Paul Elliott share their systematic approach, known as the Exemplary Performance System (EPS), in a way that enables leaders to take immediate action to shift workforce engagement and performance.
Thrive teaches leaders how to create clarity and alignment around what high performance looks like and how to replicate it at scale, identify and eliminate barriers to performance excellence, effectively align individual and team priorities with those of the company, and build organizational systems and processes that accelerate business and financial results.
Purchasing Thrive also gives readers access to more than twenty accelerators—downloadable tools, templates, and artifacts to help leaders implement the processes and practices that Andrew and Paul share throughout the book.
Press & Praise
"If you aren't leading change, you are going to be changed!

"Imagine someone slid a blueprint across the table to you that increased production of your employees by multiples. Imagine that blueprint had a battle-tested, proven series of steps to go from a disengaged workforce to a thriving community of people who understand your business mission and feel energized to come to work and push your business forward. Every. Single. Day. Well, that's exactly what Thrive is about. The blueprint could be yours. All you have to do is reach across that table and take it!"
"For decades, the same arguments around nature versus nurture have circled the topic of high performance. But we have yet to experience a human-centered, comprehensive outline focused on what it takes to build a healthy and high-performing organization. Until now. Andrew transcends the narrowly defined scope of previous books and makes the teachings of high performance accessible, masterfully telling stories and delivering proof. With Andrew's unmatched knowledge and proficiency, you will not meet a more credible witness of someone who walks the high-performance talk."
