Download or read book Leveraging People for a Corporate Turnaround written by Yuval Bar-Or and published by Tlb Pub. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leveraging People for a Corporate Turnaround recounts the thought processes and actions necessary to turn an ailing company or business unit around. The book emphasizes that to be effective, such efforts must be led by managers with business expertise, good judgment, and outstanding people skills. Much of the existing literature on corporate turnarounds focuses on business operations: legal, bankruptcy, and management accounting issues. Too often, such books view staff as merely an expense to be cut, a commodity to 'downsize' or 'rightsize.' In contrast, this book emphasizes that people's skills, concerns, motives, aspirations, and deficiencies are central factors in determining the success of any enterprise, and in particular one that is ailing. Leveraging People for a Corporate Turnaround provides its readers, be they seasoned managers, newly-promoted managers, or students of management, with the insight needed to succeed. Management and operations best practices are combined with practical, easily grasped principles and processes for leveraging people's diverse talents and skills, in order to stanch the red ink, heal the wounds in the corporate body, and put the company back on its feet.

Download or read book Focus and Leverage written by Bruce Nelson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2015-11-18 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books about continuous and process improvement are written in a textbook format with straightforward information and plenty of graphs and charts to convey the points being made. Sometimes, even the best step-by-step instructions can escape even the most adamant of followers for an improvement method in determining exactly how to apply what they’ve learned. Taking a different approach, Focus and Leverage is presented in an engaging business-novel format and is a sequel to the authors’ bestselling book, Epiphanized, Second Edition. The primary characters remain the same, but this time the storyline features two different industries: Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) and Healthcare (hospital) environments. This book expands and highlights the two improvement methods first introduced in the appendix section of Epiphanized: the Interference Diagram (ID)/Intermediate Objectives (IO) map (ID/IO Simplified Strategy) and Multiple-Drum-Buffer-Rope (M-DBR). Both of these innovative methods are the result of some much-focused thinking that allows for multiple improvement methods, and steps, to be combined into a single thinking process tool. This groundbreaking new method is designed to save time and money and allows faster and better results to be achieved. The two storylines move the reader through the necessary system analysis, problem identification, and solution implementation. The novel format aids in presenting several realistic situational discussions as well as a multitude of graphs and figures to explain the step-by-step process for success. The storyline of this book weaves some well-known and some not-so-well-known thinking tools into the problem-solving sphere to provide you with an understanding of how to first discover and then overcome issues not readily known or expected at the start of any project.
