Alan Vengel has spent 25 years helping Fortune 500    companies empower their employees to perform at    peak efficiency, generating measurable results    organization-wide. Now, in 20 Minutes to a Top    Performer, Vengel shares the secret to his and his    clients’ success: good old-fashioned communication.    Inside, he explains how to engage your    employees through specific, focused conversations,    of which there are exactly three:        Coaching:    Focusing on performance and feedback    Motivating:    Focusing on engagement and interests    Mentoring:    Focusing on support and development        Vengel dissects these types of conversations to    illuminate how, why, and when to initiate each one.    The conversations are not meant to be technical.    They won’t be uncomfortable or combative. They will    simply be . . . conversations. And you’ll be surprised    at how quickly you see results. Your people will become    better team players, take greater enjoyment in    their work, tackle problems with verve, and, in the    end, contribute valuable talent to your organization    for the long term.        Managers are facing unprecedented demands to do    more with less—a trend that is clearly not going to    reverse in the foreseeable future. You don’t need a Harvard Business School degree or expensive new    technology to empower your workforce. All you need    is the drive to make change happen.    20 Minutes to a Top Performer is a blueprint to helping    your people succeed. And when they succeed,    you and the entire organization succeed.
