Life of John Knox Containing Illustrations of the History of the Reformation in Scotland Book

Approaches sales perofmrance from a data-based perspective, where clear links have been made between performance & fit between the role & individual strengths/talents.

Uses strengthfinder as a mechanism for identifying top talents from a set of 34 themes. Once strengths are known, need to ensure fit (along dimensions of motivation, relationship building, gaining commitment, structure of work, and ability to understand & solve customer needs) and then ensure a good manager.

Also covers the move to sales management, where fit to providing employee engagement needs (on p124 of book) is key.

Lastly, covers some advice from lead sales managers:
- rehire the best
- appreciate uniqueness
- lead from strength (spend most time on top performers)
- be a buffer
- hire the best
- lots to do (work hard)

Good, data based approach to masimising engagement in work/roles & also for ensuring that in others.
