  A powerful guide to enable individuals to further their careers by becoming superstar performers at work. Why do some people make it to the top and others don't in terms of their performance and careers? This is the question Prof Rob Kelley set out to answer in a 2 year study of telecommunications giant Bell labs. Like many companies, Bell Labs were finding that only a minority of their brilliant employees delivered extroadinary results, whilst the rest, equally brilliant, had put in merely average results. The shocking thing, for Kelley and Bell Labs, was that 2 years of detailed and expensive research into intelligence, motivation, creativity and technical skills yielded absolutely nothing! When cognitive, social and psychological measures showed a common pattern for all workers , Kelley realised that it was not who they were, but the way in which the star performers did their work and the way in which they worked with others, that really marked them out. In this book, Kelley distils the star secrets so elusive to the majority of workers - 9 key strategies that will help anyone become the master of their own performance.
