International Company. Steve Walker is a skilled and experienced
trainer, consultant and communicator. In a varied career he has
worked in the criminal justice system, in universities, for a small
consultancy firm and for the Lord Chancellor's department. Over the
last 15 years he has run his own consultancy, providing successful
help to a large range of organisations, big and small, across
sectors and covering a variety of projects as well as developing
other businesses. He is also experienced in one to one coaching
with managers. In his work with organisations and individuals Steve
focuses on issues around leadership, strategy, culture,
performance, development and teamwork, using a reflective and
practical approach that brings the best out of people. He is known
for helping managers disentangle knotty leadership issues and
dilemmas, using relevant research, experience, fresh ideas and
clear analysis and sound communication. In his work Steve's goal is
to help people to work out specific actions that they can take back
to their real world and apply with confidence, and he has a strong
and successful track record in this. He is committed to an
effective leadership approach that also focuses on developing
people and treating them with respect and integrity. Steve has
covered performance management at a number of levels, from working
with senior managers on improving performance across the whole
organisation to helping team leaders with everyday front line
performance problems and opportunities. Steve always takes a
pragmatic approach to his work on performance management. He makes
sure that the advice and help that he gives are useful in the
everyday situations that managers find themselves. At the same time
he works with people in a considered and thoughtful way, using up
to date research to inform advice and actions. Steve is also
careful to take into account all of the complications in any issue
to make sure that solutions stick: no quick easy wins that lead
back to even worse problems. For some time Steve has been keen to
convert this work into a book on performance management that
captures his and hundreds of managers' experiences and then goes on
to offer real ways to tackle what can be horribly difficult issues.
This is a book with a difference, blending tried and tested ideas
with rugged, real world pragmatism to help all managers to work on
and improve the way that they manage the performance of their staff
and their teams.
