Riassunto

Authors Clinton Longenecker, Greg Papp, and Timothy Stansfield reveal that all too often business organizations are defeated while the clock is still ticking. Bogged down by sluggish business practices that stifle change, they are unable to pick up the pace when necessary to score and win. The Two-Minute Drill translates football’s lessons for business leaders who want to succeed in today’s competitive marketplace. The book clearly shows what it takes to accelerate change and improvement within any type of organization.

Praise for The Two-Minute Drill

"The authors have created an approach to improvement that is powerful, poignant, and packs a punch. The Two-Minute Drill provides a real plan of action for improvement that people can really relate to."
—Vicky Black, president, Fabory North America

"In the past 25 years, my company has shifted from process strategies to execution strategies. By far the lessons on execution described in The Two-Minute Drill have produced the most successful results for us. I have taken this book to my team, and we are now better prepared to take the ball into the improvement end zone."
—Al Caperna, CEO, CMC Group

"When your team is not ready for the change game, the outcome can be disastrous. I wish I had had the benefit of the lessons from The Two-Minute Drill before undertaking my latest change effort."
—Rear Admiral David R. Ellison, USN (Ret.), president and superintendent, New Mexico Military Institute

"In today's fast-paced competitive world, there is little time for error or waste. Just like a well-disciplined football team, business leaders should use the techniques explained in The Two-Minute Drill to ensure that their teams move the ball, score, and win."
—Gary L. Cowger, group vice president, Global Manufacturing and Labor Relations, General Motors Corporation

"Having played quarterback and run the two–minute drill in college, it is no different in business. Define winning, prepare, communicate, seize control, adjust quickly, and—above all—execute! Organizational change and transformation demand action, as we do not have the whole season to score. I have made the Two-Minute Drill part of my playbook, and you should also. The clock is running on all of us."
—John Meier, CEO, Libbey, Inc.
