Riassunto

Companies trying to navigate in unpredictable times face four key hazards: 1. FAILURE TO EXECUTE, 2. CRISIS OF TRUST, 3. LOSS OF FOCUS, 4. PERVASIVE FEAR. In this book, there's a chapter on each of these four essential principles, together with a plan to help you apply them.One of the best ways to learn from this book is to teach its principles to someone else. It's a commonplace that the teacher learns far more than the student. So at the end of each chapter, you're invited to find someone--a co-worker, a friend, a family member--and teach him or her the insights you've gained from the chapter. You can follow the "Teach to Learn" guide provided or make up your own.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

If there's one thing that's certain in business, it's uncertainty. Still there are great organizations that perform consistently and with excellence, regardless of the conditions. This practical book is about getting predictable results in good times and bad by applying four key principles. 1. EXCELLENT EXECUTION. Winning companies have simple goals with clear targets and strong follow-through. All team members know what to do about the goals and they execute precisely. 2. HIGH TRUST LEVELS WITH ALL STAKEHOLDERS. Low trust slows you down and raises your costs--especially in times of turmoil. But when trust levels rise, everything speeds up and costs go down. 3. ACHIEVING MORE WITH LESS. In tough times, everyone tries to do more with less, but the real question is "more of what?" Winning companies focus on giving more value--not just cutting back. 4. TRANSFORMING FEAR INTO ENGAGEMENT. Unpredictable times create fear, stress, and worry--fatal distracts when you need total focus. Winning organization entrust people with a mission they can believe in, channeling their anxiety into results.Drawing on decades of experience working with thousands of private and public entities worldwide, we suggest there are a few basic principles that will never let you down--principles that help companies win, regardless of the turbulence of the ride or the shock of overwhelming change.
