Motivation? Easy.Leadership? No problem.Performance management? Simple.All of these statements are true if - and only if - you have the right people.

A chief executives dream is to have scientific help when choosing key people and Pixie Dust is that help - a book written as a fable from the heart.The fable starts when all is well in a community; then, a recruitment exercise ends in the not-unfamiliar appointment from hell. The fable concludes with that fabulous feeling when a selection panel gets it right - that almost spiritual satisfaction when managers come together and it works.The problems encountered when selecting a senior manager are herein set in a woodland community. However, Pixie Dust is far from being a fairy story. It is a vehicle to convey cutting-edge management practices which come from the most up-to-date management research at doctoral level.
