t you're a manager, you know just how important it is to hold your employees accountable for real results. The problem is, most managers don't know the proper techniques to do so-and they don't have loads of time to find out. Keeping Eny)loyees Accountable for Results provides the checklists, how-tos, and other tools you need to help your people accomplish more. Moving beyond the far-from-ideal annual performance review-which only evaluates what has already occurred, and not what you want to achieve-the book gives you quick tips on:
• Setting expectations 
• Monitoring progress 
• Giving feecff)ack 
• Following through


Chock-full of examples, the book is light on theory and heavy on practical application. It's exactly what you need to keep your people doing their best ... and achieving amazing results.

Taking you through all six decades of Lakers history, the book reads like a Hollywood blockbuster. There's a team plane crash-landing in a snowstorm, at least two financial near-failures, more than a few bewildering real estate transactions, a high-profile rape case, a low-profile indecent exposure case, an unsolved murder, the firings of several winning coaches, and enough sexual high links to qualify as a soap opera-all of it occasioned in and around the team's 28 Finals appearances, starring a spectacular cast of characters both on and off the court. There are even cameo appearances by Hollywood's leading celebrities including super-fan Jack Nicholson, who has his own special way of rooting for the team.

Rich with original stories at turns hilarious and heartbreaking, The Show is an entertaining account of life among the Lakers, told as only those who lived it could tell it.
