Our work has shown that high-performing organizations use a number of strategies and techniques to effectively involve employees , including ( 1 ) fostering a performanceoriented culture , ( 2 ) working to develop a consensus with unions on goals and strategies , ( 3 ) providing the training that staff need to work effectively , and ( 4 ) devolving authority while focusing accountability on results .
High-performing organizations have these techniques in common because they consult with one another .
