About this book
Reviews
-Marshall Goldsmith, author of the New York Times and Wallstreet Journal #1 Best Seller Triggers
"In his drive to bring about strategic and operational change in traditional HR management tools, Tim Baker now takes a look at job descriptions. I especially like his idea to focus on performance by characterizing the work as a series of roles, each with its own set of KPIs. It makes sense to re-shape this key document so that it is comprehensive and serves its many purposes well. The book includes plenty of detail that can help readers to implement change."

'Tim Baker offers an important shift in thinking about how organizations define the behaviors their people need to succeed. Tim gives readers a practical toolkit for aligning behaviors with the vision, mission and values of a business, and then developing, refining and quantifying the skills that matter. These simple truths can become a powerful step change for businesses.'
