Description
Aligning the Stars: A Practical Perspective on Winning in Professional Services In professional service firms, people are the source of competitive advantage. Success is determined more by the talent these firms pay than by those who pay them. This comprehensive book provides a practical perspective on how to win in professional services. Respected academics Jay W. Lorsch and Thomas J. Tierney draw from rigorous research and decades of experience to show how successful firms create and sustain alignment through strategy, people systems, structure and governance, and culture. Through compelling real-world examples, they demonstrate the importance of building an organization of executive-level stars whose day-to-day performance reinforces and achieves the goals of the business. By understanding how to align talent with strategy, firms can achieve strategic success and outperform their competitors.
