Book Get to the Root  Solve Stubborn Enterprise Wide Problems with Executive Buy in

Download or read book Get to the Root Solve Stubborn Enterprise Wide Problems with Executive Buy in written by Johannes N.I. Norden and published by McGraw-Hill Education. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Impeccably researched and astoundingly insightful, Get to the Root reveals how to go from ‘putting out fires’ to finding true, lasting solutions... A must-read guide for executives and leaders at any stage of their career!”―Marshall Goldsmith, The Thinkers50 #1 Leadership Thinker, and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, Triggers Sooner or later, every executive has to confront problems that seem to be built in the way the business was designed, maintained, and managed. Whether its information overload, profit margin issues or adapting to new regulations, popular “best-practice” don’t solve those problems. High-level executives, it turns out, are often the least able to diagnose—much less solve—an organization’s systemic problems. By helping them analyze the problem and creating “authentic,” solutions, Hans Norden brings a wealth of experience in in-house change management to both established and up-and-coming C-suite leaders. In Get to the Root, readers will learn how executing change initiatives require a different form of leadership than routine operations. Norden explains why systemic problems fester, manifesting as disruptions in the workflow of different departments and hierarchical levels in their company. While top-down management may work on a day-to-day basis, managing and fixing systemic problems requires intelligent collaboration with other management levels to implement improvements. With a clear, step-by-step roadmap to diagnosing issues and establishing holistic, “authentic” solutions, Get to the Root shows leaders a way to solve the seemingly unsolvable problems—and avoid more from arising in the future. Inside you’ll discover: Why systemic problems keep coming back and thus appear to be without solution. Why solving systemic problems is a unique and exclusive executive responsibility. Why a business managed as a collection of separate component parts will experience friction and conflict, and why most business “best practices” are fallacies Why identifying the “right” solution to a systemic problem becomes easy when painting a bigger picture perspective—using Norden’s Business Mechanics model Why leaders with a clear vision of the vehicle’s future state are better positioned to respond in a timely and adequate manner.

Download or read book Paid to Think written by David Goldsmith and published by BenBella Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-10-23 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever thought about the fact that a craftsman has more and better tools to solve challenges on the job than the leader of a business or organization does? Leadership "tools" are usually defined as computers, spreadsheets, data, and even experience, but in reality, leaders need thinking tools that are hard to come by, so they find themselves hunting and pecking for answers in books, at seminars, through on-the-job training programs, from mentors, and at business schools, and still, they're left with gaps. Surely, most leaders are good at what they do, but the daily challenges of their jobs, like accelerating growth, increasing productivity, driving innovation, doing more with less, and balancing work with life don't come with some sort of leadership toolkit...until now. In Paid to Think, international consultant David Goldsmith presents his groundbreaking approach to leadership and management based on research revealing the twelve specific activities that all leaders perform on a daily basis, and he provides you with each activity's accompanying tools and instructions proven to boost your performance and that of your entire organization. Take the uncertainty out of everyday leading, convert ideas to realities, and maximize your intellectual value. Learn how decision makers at some of the world's most successful organizations have already used Paid to Think's universal and easily transferable tools—regardless of their industries, sectors, geographic locations, or management levels—as their greatest advantages in achieving more, earning more, and living more.
