For some retail leaders, intense competition and changing shopping patterns have created a radical rethinking of strategic focus. This has resulted in a fundamental shift from the traditional emphasis on the 4-Ps of the “marketing-mix” (product, price, promotion, place) to a focus instead on the overall shopping experience.

 

This emerging shift has, in turn, placed “good to great” performance as the governing vision and cornerstone of market advantage.  Such a vision has been applied to every aspect of the company’s commitment to operational excellence and customer focus in fulfillment of their brand promise.  It is in this context that Great Store Performance finds its timely relevance and compelling appeal.

 

This book focuses exclusively on the subject of great store performance; what it means in distinction to typically “good” store performance, why its sustained achievement is so elusive and what is required to make its consistent achievement a reality to achieve and sustain market advantage.

 

The recommendations offered in this book are based on the important findings and conclusions of extensive and groundbreaking field research conducted in over one thousand field executive store visits within several major chain store retailers over the past neatly two decades.  Because this is the only book available that deals specifically with the discipline and challenges of retail field leadership, and which is written primarily and directly to and for retail field executives and senior level executives, it promises to be a unique and invaluable contribution.

It is a story that reveals a new model for transformational leadership—one that flies in the face of conventional wisdom, creates healthy corporate cultures, and delivers extraordinary, sustainable results.

   George Gallup, Jr. (The Gallup Organization) said this about The Imperfect Leader: “There is one true and effective model for leadership that outperforms all others—it is time-tested and historically proven to be the leadership model for transformational change. In The Imperfect Leader, Taylor offers an interesting, well written articulation of that model. It is a very practical book that should be read by any leader seriously intending to make a difference—in their organization—or in the world.”

Author Ted Farrington clearly and concisely shares his pragmatic insights about the critical importance of leadership in achieving technical and business success. What Do I Do Now? Becoming a 21st-Century Leader clarifies, in a very practical way, the difference between leading and managing, between enabling growth and controlling it, and between inspiring and giving orders.

Today, leadership skills are vital in every field and, consequently, are in much demand. Successful leaders must have a clear vision of what they want to achieve. They must also be able to persuade everyone on their team to join with them in achieving their goals. From there on, it is necessary to continue working very hard to keep the team united and totally task focused until the goals are achieved.

An excellent analogy is to liken the leader to a bus driver who knows the desired destination. The two vital tasks, then, are to persuade everyone, whose assistance is needed to get there, to board the bus, and, having done so, ensure they all stay on board, until the destination is reached.

This book explains what leadership is, which leadership style is your predominant one, what you need to do to get your people on your bus and, finally, how to keep them there until your goals are achieved.

In summary, you will learn how to be a truly effective and successful leader.
