Download or read book Say It and Live It written by Patricia Jones and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Say It And Live It is the first collection of provocative, passionate, and intelligent corporate mission statements--the most powerful and popular managerial tool in business today. A corporate mission statement is the most dramatic presentation of a company's vision and its goal. No other document--annual report, press release, news article, statement from the board of directors--tells us more about a company's values and ethics than a mission statement. Companies know that if they write it down, they will have to live up to it--so they devote months, even years, the energy of people from the CEO on down, and significant sums of money to crafting them. Say It And Live It is the only source of information for the many business people who are presently writing their own mission statements. In it, authors Patricia Jones and Larry Kahaner show that industry leaders are frequently corporations that truly live their mission statements. Some of the winners include: Avis, Ben & Jerry's, Boeing, Citicorp, General Electric, Gillette, Hallmark Cards, IBM, Kellogg's, Reader's Digest, Saturn, Southwest Airlines, UPS, and Xerox. Say It And Live It is a collection of the fifty best corporate mission statements in America. Each entry consists of the company's complete mission statement, along with an explanation of how it was written, a lesson about how that mission statement saved the company or motivated employees, or comments from the CEO or the president. The introduction points out the common elements of these philosophical documents, while the final chapter is a list of tips on how you can write your own mission statement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Problemstellung: Unternehmensleitbilder (englisch: Corporate Mission Statements) sind in den vergangenen beiden Dekaden sehr populär geworden bei amerikanischen, aber auch europäischen Unternehmen. Das Unternehmensleitbild ist quasi das Glaubensbekenntnis eines Unternehmens: es beantwortet die grundlegenden Fragen warum das Unternehmen existiert, welche langfristige Strategie es verfolgt, für welche Werte es einsteht und welche Geschäftphilosophie es vertritt. Das Leitbild gibt die interne wie auch externe Orientierung des Unternehmens vor, es wirkt sich auf jede Entscheidung im Unternehmen aus. Der Wert eines sauber formulierten und umsichtig implementierten Unternehmensleitbildes ist inzwischen unumstritten. Insbesondere gilt dies in Situationen der Krise, der Veränderung und des Wachstums eines Unternehmens. Aber auch in einer relativen stabilen Umwelt ist das Leitbild ein entscheidender Orientierungs- und Identifikationspunkt, der zu einem wichtigen komparativen Wettbewerbsvorteil führen kann. Diese Arbeit analysiert die aktuelle angloamerikanische Literatur, bezieht jedoch wichtige deutschsprachige Autoren mit ein. Basierend auf der Literaturaufarbeitung wird ein sehr praktisch angelegtes Modell zur Formulierung, Generierung und Implementierung des Unternehmensleitbildes entwickelt. Dieses Prozeßmodell ist umfassend angelegt und gleichzeitig einfach auf jeden Unternehmenstyp übertragbar. Diese praxisnahe Arbeit wurde im Juli 1994 als Abschlußarbeit des MBA-Studiums des Autors an der Azusa Pacific University / Los Angeles mit A+ bewertet (A+ ist die best-mögliche Note im amerikanischen Benotungssystem). Im Dezember 1994 wurde sie vom Lehrstuhl für Marketing an der Westfälischen-Wilhelms-Universität von Herrn Prof. Meffert anerkannt und nach deutschen Kriterien als Diplomarbeit mit der Note 2,7 bewertet.

This book was released on 2016-07-21 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2016 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, The FOM University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg, course: Human Resource Management, language: English, abstract: Most companies of the “Fortune 100” have corporate core values. Values that should stand for the beliefs of the founders or management. But in many cases these values are meaningless. The reason, in many cases, is, that the responsible persons in a company thinks they have to. Why? Because mostly all successful companies have defined also some kind of values. But this approach can lead to more damage than positive impact. Sticking to values needs a strong standing from everybody in the company. Not only the employees have to develop a mindset for lived values. Also corporate governance and strategy have to adept values in the same meaning as for the single employee. Living them in the right or wrong way could therefore have a not insignificant impact on corporate governance, culture and strategy. This assignment will give a brief overview about the meaning, possible impact and implementation of corporate core values in an existing corporate culture.

Download or read book Mission Mastery written by Brian Dive and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reveals the story of how the first large learning organization was formed. Emerging around 1870, it involved an organizational transformation that followed a disaster some 60 years earlier. The great success of this process was the introduction of a totally new approach to leadership – a competitive edge that would go undetected for another 100 years. The original development involved the Prussian/German Army under a great leader, Helmut von Moltke. NATO countries finally discovered this “secret weapon,” which they have since implemented in their mission command centers, in the 1980s. The book distils five underlying features or pillars of the transformed organization, and describes how they can be applied in civilian organizations to attain a state of Mission Mastery. Never before published, these ideas are supplemented by numerous references and practical examples to illustrate the persuasive power of the case made – namely that most civilian organizations are weak in terms of the five key ingredients needed for Mission Mastery. “This book is a must-read for all charged with developing tomorrow's leaders.” Sir Michael Perry, GBE – previously Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Unilever, Chairman of Centrica, Chairman of the Senior Salaries Review Body, Independent Director at Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte.

Download or read book Measure What Matters written by John Doerr and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller Legendary venture capitalist John Doerr reveals how the goal-setting system of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) has helped tech giants from Intel to Google achieve explosive growth—and how it can help any organization thrive. In the fall of 1999, John Doerr met with the founders of a start-up whom he'd just given $12.5 million, the biggest investment of his career. Larry Page and Sergey Brin had amazing technology, entrepreneurial energy, and sky-high ambitions, but no real business plan. For Google to change the world (or even to survive), Page and Brin had to learn how to make tough choices on priorities while keeping their team on track. They'd have to know when to pull the plug on losing propositions, to fail fast. And they needed timely, relevant data to track their progress—to measure what mattered. Doerr taught them about a proven approach to operating excellence: Objectives and Key Results. He had first discovered OKRs in the 1970s as an engineer at Intel, where the legendary Andy Grove ("the greatest manager of his or any era") drove the best-run company Doerr had ever seen. Later, as a venture capitalist, Doerr shared Grove's brainchild with more than fifty companies. Wherever the process was faithfully practiced, it worked. In this goal-setting system, objectives define what we seek to achieve; key results are how those top-priority goals will be attained with specific, measurable actions within a set time frame. Everyone's goals, from entry level to CEO, are transparent to the entire organization. The benefits are profound. OKRs surface an organization's most important work. They focus effort and foster coordination. They keep employees on track. They link objectives across silos to unify and strengthen the entire company. Along the way, OKRs enhance workplace satisfaction and boost retention. In Measure What Matters, Doerr shares a broad range of first-person, behind-the-scenes case studies, with narrators including Bono and Bill Gates, to demonstrate the focus, agility, and explosive growth that OKRs have spurred at so many great organizations. This book will help a new generation of leaders capture the same magic.

Download or read book Correlation between Corporate Culture and Corporate Strategy written by Henning Wenzel and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,7, University of applied sciences, Cologne, course: Strategic Corporate Management, language: English, abstract: The character of a company ́s culture or work climate is gaining in importance. Culture is a product of the core values and business principles that executives espouse, the standards of what is ethically acceptable and what is not, the work practices and behaviours that define “how we do things around here”, its approach to people management and style of operating, the “chemistry” and the “personality” that permeates its work environment, and the stories that get told over and over to illustrate and reinforce the company ́s values, business principles, and traditions. A company ́s culture is important because it influences the organization ́s actions and approaches to conduct the business – in a very real sense, the culture is the company ́s “operating system” or organizational DNA. All in all, culture as a concept is difficult to define and differs from company to company. The crafting of a strategy represents a managerial commitment to pursue a particular set of actions in growing the business, attracting and pleasing customers, competing successfully, conducting operations, and improving the company ́s financial and market performance. Even companies with same strategic and business concepts and comparable success differ in their approaches regarding the corporate culture. What becomes clear is that there is a correlation between culture and strategy. Hence the consistency between strategy and culture is a long-term competitive advantage and a key to corporate success. To counteract preventive a possible misfit between the corporate culture and the strategy, consideration of corporate culture as part of the concept to strategy implementation is essential.

Download or read book Inside the Box written by David S. Cohen and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2006-09-19 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to turn company values into competitive advantage We are inclined, for whatever reason, to treat values like works of art. We view them as nice to hang on the wall, and beautiful to look at, but we don’t act as though they truly mean much to us in the real world. In fact, the opposite is true. The best organizations understand their values, articulate them clearly, and hold them higher than any short-term concerns or short-cut methods. This does not put these companies at a competitive disadvantage. It is the source of their competitive advantage. If there's no clarity at the top about what values really mean, then there's no consistency at the management level or further down the organization. This means that there's no way to measure, coach, assess, promote or fire people in line with those values. Any organization that does not articulate its values concretely functions like a modern Tower of Babel. No one can be quite sure that they are speaking the same language at different levels or different locations within the organization. Decisions don't always make sense or feel right. Confusion reigns. No matter how compelling and inspirational the organization's vision may be, its aspirations fall far short in reality. Values are about achieving results in a way that is consistent with what an organization stands for. They provide a direct connection between the CEO, the factory worker and everyone in between; and form the basis of the organization's "brand" as understood by employees, customers, suppliers and even shareholders. When the work is done right, values provide an organizing principle, a directional compass that helps organizations succeed; they become a source of energy for an organization's vision, strategy and day-to-day efforts. Vision, strategy, market share, reputation and profits are all very important – but having a clear and consistent set of values is far more critical in predicting whether an organization will continue to succeed and grow as its people, markets, competitive landscape and technology change. People must make their contributions to an organization willingly and independently to bring passion, commitment, creativity and energy to a job. But they will do so only so long as they believe that what they are doing is authentic and meaningful, and is part of a code of commitment shared by the organization as a whole. Inside the Box focuses on values in a clear and practical way to understand what they are, where they come from and how they are transmitted from employee generation to generation. Inside the Box provides a roadmap for any leader or manager on how to identify the values that make an organization, department, team, or individual unique. It also shows how to measure whether an organization or individual is operating according to those values, and how managers can use values as the basis for all of their people decisions and drive superior performance as a result.
