Roderic Gray A Climate of Success

Using case studies to illustrate the causes and consequences of various climate factors it makes practical suggestions for how improvements can be made – to everyone's benefit. Building on current research, it shows how perceptions of climate arise, the effects they can have on performance, and how managers can influence these perceptions and apply their understanding to improve their own and their people's effectiveness.

Managers at all levels will find valuable insights in A Climate of Success which will point the way to improved performance, whilst the research–based foundations will make it invaluable for business students too. The key message from this book is the importance of behaviours and actions by leaders and managers that can lead to a supportive climate that respects and reinforces employee commitment that thereby contributes to the longer term sustainability of the organisation.
