 Post Hill Press and Franklin Covey Co. FC, a leader in 
 organizational performance improvement solutions, have partnered to 
 release Talent Unleashed: 3 Leadership Conversations to Ignite the 
 Unlimited Potential in People, which offers leaders in any 
 organization powerful new insights and practices for building a 
 high-performance work culture (Post Hill Press, on sale April 18, 2017).
 
 
 The book is written by a team of renowned FranklinCovey leadership 
 experts, who share their collective knowledge gained from working with 
 thousands of leaders in industries that span the global workforce.
 
 
 Leadership today requires many things, but one of the fundamental roles 
 of a great leader is to see, recognize, and ultimately unleash the 
 talents and strengths of others—and to create a bonding attraction for 
 these people to the organizations for which they work so these talents 
 and strengths are not developed and then lost to others in today's 
 rapidly changing work environment.
 
 
 So how do leaders do that? While most leaders are promoted for their 
 competence and skills, truly exceptional leaders are remembered for the 
 impact they have on the lives of those they lead.
 
 
 When asked about the qualities of the best leader they ever had, most 
 people shared that humanity, courage, concern, and deep personal 
 interest were key behaviors exhibited and about how the leader helped 
 people grow, develop, accomplish objectives, and find greater meaning in 
 work and contribution. The leader genuinely cared.
 
 
 Talent Unleashed features 3 Leadership Conversations that any 
 leader of a team, a project, or an organization can have to create that 
 sense of caring and belonging so that the best and brightest people are 
 attracted and kept and their talent is unleashed toward what matters 
 most. The book teaches the core principles, framework, and process that 
 enable leaders to release the talent, intelligence, capability, and 
 creativity in people, inspiring leaders and teams to create a culture 
 rich in trust, clarity, and empowerment.
 
 
 The three ongoing Leadership Conversations leaders need to have with 
 team members to inspire and enable them to contribute and perform to the 
 very best of their ability, and to help leaders create a trusting, 
 synergistic workplace where employees feel confidant and empowered, are:
 
 
 The 3 Leadership Conversations
 
 <ol xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 <li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistitemmargb">
 Voice Conversations affirm the worth and potential of 
 each person on a team. In a voice conversation, individuals discover 
 their unique talents, passions and values − their individual "voice" – 
 and align these to their job and career responsibilities. It is the 
 process of identifying an individual's unique talents and contribution.
 </li>
 <li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistitemmargb">
 Performance Conversations establish and clarify goals, 
 targets, roles, responsibilities, and accountability. In a Performance 
 Conversation, individuals are transformed from "interchangeable 
 employees" to trusted partners, colleagues, and teammates who work 
 together to accomplish goals that are vital to individual and 
 organizational performance.
 </li>
 <li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistitemmargb">
 Clear-the-Path Conversations turn supervisors into 
 leaders, coaches, and mentors who become sources of help, enabling 
 people to succeed in their jobs. Leaders "clear the path" by removing 
 obstacles, teaching, coaching, and making course corrections along the 
 way.
 </li>
 </ol>
 
 These conversations are the work of effective leaders distilled down to 
 its essence. Voice conversations help team members define their unique 
 talents and contributions. Performance conversations clarify 
 expectations and recognize achievement. Clear-the-Path Conversations 
 help identify what team members and leaders can do to remove obstacles 
 and help facilitate success.
 
 
 The conversations are based on timeless principles of effectiveness in 
 human interaction, and are at the very core of the content of the book 
 and the process of the conversations. They include Contribution, Trust, 
 Synergy and Empathy, which are explored in detail in the book.
 
 
 Organizational culture represents the environment created by the 
 collective habitual behaviors of the people in the organization. When 
 people's actions and attitudes are aligned with true principles as they 
 interact with one another, the culture literally changes. And the nature 
 and frequency of genuine Leadership Conversations held in any 
 organization are a huge part of the culture and change, as they 
 significantly strengthen relationships and unleash the talents of those 
 who are led and those who lead.
 
 
 Talent Unleashed will enable any leader who reads the book to 
 teach and nurture the foundational principles that create a lasting 
 culture of top performance.
