Shifting the Monkey, 2012

Find out how and why responsible, hardworking employees often get saddled with too many monkeys—responsibilities, obligations, problems of unmotivated peers.  Learn how leaders can put monkeys back where they belong and focus on supporting and cultivating the best employees.  Through a simple metaphor, the author helps you learn how to focus on your good employees first by helping them shift the monkeys back to the under-performers.
