Learn.com Vice President Publishes Ground Breaking Book on Employee Development Featuring the 7 Factors that Drive Performance

Sunrise, FL, May 03, 2009 --(PR.com)-- "This book should be required reading for anyone who manages people. Until now, managing performance was mostly a rearward-facing exercise that often put managers at odds with their workers. But now Michael Sabbag has redefined performance management with his exemplary performance model. Sabbag gives managers a new roadmap to proactively improve performance by creating a partnership between themselves and their workers that builds upon strengths and provides development opportunities. This book will be used for decades to come by organizations that wish to become more successful and competitive," said Jim Riley, President & CEO of Learn.com.

“Going far beyond existing models of performance development, Sabbag provides leaders with both a process roadmap and a practical toolbox for strength-based employee development,” said Rita Smith, Vice President of Enterprise Learning at Ingersoll Rand Company.

Michael Sabbag’s book rejects the notion that one solution fits all when it comes to improving employee performance; his book instead focuses on building exemplary performance with one employee, one step at a time. Developing Exemplary Performance One Person at a Time is built around Michael’s Seven Factors that Drive Performance. The book explains a simple process for identifying the right performance focus, combination of tools, and solutions to develop individual strengths to yield significant ROI for employees and align with corporate goals. The Exemplary Performance Model in Action offers a detailed road map to assess and target performance, identify key influencing factors and develop and implement an effective action plan for raising performance to the exemplary level.

“This book lays out a model to help leaders diagnose the real reasons why people may not be performing up to standard and allows proper action planning for improvement,” said Alicia Goodman, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at TNS.

Michael Sabbag possesses over 20 years of experience in the fields of Talent Management, Organizational Development, Human Resources, and Training. He has spoken at many professional organizations and businesses discussing such topics such as Talent Management, Performance, Strategic Planning, Team Building, and ROI. Michael has a Master of Arts degree from University of the Pacific, and is certified as a Senior Professional in Human Resources from SHRM. He is also a member of the ASTD National Advisor for Chapters team.

“Michael Sabbag is a seasoned, authentic leader with an amazing grasp of the performance challenges facing businesses today and an even more amazing ability to clearly articulate how to diagnose and solve those challenges to yield exemplary results. Developing Exemplary Performance On Person at a Time is intelligent, practical and easy to understand,” said Sharon Wigron, CPLP, President of Wings of Success, LLC.
