Execution de Larry Bossidy

Execution

Autor Larry Bossidy, Ram Charan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 iun 2002

Observăm că succesul în afaceri este adesea atribuit viziunii, însă datele ne arată o realitate diferită: Larry Bossidy a condus AlliedSignal către 31 de trimestre consecutive de creștere a profitului cu peste 13% nu prin concepte abstracte, ci prin disciplina riguroasă a execuției. Putem afirma că Execution nu este un tratat teoretic, ci un manual operațional care demontează mitul liderului detașat de detalii. Remarcăm accentul neclintit pus pe implicarea directă; autorii susțin că un CEO trebuie să verifice personal referințele pentru angajările cheie, deoarece calitatea „genofondului” de leadership determină viabilitatea oricărei strategii. Structura volumului se concentrează pe sincronizarea a trei procese de bază: oamenii, strategia și operațiunile. În timp ce majoritatea planurilor eșuează din cauza deconectării de realitatea pieței, Bossidy și Ram Charan propun un model de onestitate intelectuală și dialog robust. Complementar lui Business Execution for Results, care oferă un ghid practic pentru firmele mici și mijlocii, acest volum acoperă complexitatea organizațiilor mari și modul în care mecanismele de execuție pot fi scalate la nivel corporativ global. De asemenea, spre deosebire de Making Your Strategy Work, care se concentrează pe comunicarea strategiei, Execution insistă pe crearea unei culturi a responsabilității unde rezultatele promise coincid întotdeauna cu cele livrate. Pe parcursul celor 320 de pagini, cititorul va învăța să treacă de la exercițiul bugetar clasic, care privește doar spre trecut, la un proces operațional axat pe acțiuni specifice și asumarea răspunderii. Este o lectură cu un ton autoritar, bazată pe experiența de decenii la General Electric și Honeywell, oferind un cadru sistemic pentru orice manager care dorește să transforme strategia în realitate economică.

Recenzii

" If you want to be a CEO-- or if you are a CEO and want to keep your job-- read Execution and put its principles to work."
-- Michael Dell, chairman and CEO, Dell Computer Corp.
" Good practical insight and advice on managing for results at firms of any size. Execution is key, and this book clearly explains what it means and how it brings together the critical elements of any organization-- its people, strategies, and operations." -- L. R. Raymond, chairman and CEO, Exxon Mobil
" The best-thought-out plans in the world aren' t worth the paper they' re written on if you can' t pull them off. And that' s what this book is all about. Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done is well written and gives sound, practical advice about how to make things happen. It is well worth the reading." -- Ralph S. Larsen, chairman and CEO, Johnson & Johnson
" Larry Bossidy recognizes how execution in a business defines the true greatness of a company. He captures a lifetime of building winning formulas and puts them in a simple and practical context for executives at any level. Read it!" -- Ivan Seidenberg, president and co- chief executive officer, Verizon
" For those managers who have struggled to make it happen, fix a problem, get it done-- or otherwise transform winning strategies into genuine results-- here' s the missing medicine from two who know from long experience what works and what doesn' t. Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan offer a compelling leadership prescription, and it comes down to realism, discipline, and above all, great execution."
-- Michael Useem, professor of management and director of the Center for Leadership and Change, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
" Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan define the true meaning of leadership from an implementation point of view.

Descriere

The book that shows how to get the job done and deliver results . . . whether you're running an entire company or in your first management job
Larry Bossidy is one of the world's most acclaimed CEOs, a man with few peers who has a track record for delivering results. Ram Charan is a legendary advisor to senior executives and boards of directors, a man with unparalleled insight into why some companies are successful and others are not. Together they've pooled their knowledge and experience into the one book on how to close the gap between results promised and results delivered that people in business need today.
After a long, stellar career with General Electric, Larry Bossidy transformed AlliedSignal into one of the world's most admired companies and was named CEO of the year in 1998 by "Chief Executive" magazine. Accomplishments such as 31 consecutive quarters of earnings-per-share growth of 13 percent or more didn't just happen; they resulted from the consistent practice of the discipline of execution: understanding how to link together people, strategy, and operations, the three core processes of every business.
Leading these processes is the real job of running a business, not formulating a "vision" and leaving the work of carrying it out to others. Bossidy and Charan show the importance of being deeply and passionately engaged in an organization and why robust dialogues about people, strategy, and operations result in a business based on intellectual honesty and realism.
The leader's most important job--selecting and appraising people--is one that should never be delegated. As a CEO, Larry Bossidy personally makes the calls to check references for key hires. Why? With the right people in the right jobs, there's a leadership gene pool that conceives and selects strategies that can be executed. People then work together to create a strategy building block by building block, a strategy in sync with the realities of the marketplace, the economy, and the competition. Once the right people and strategy are in place, they are then linked to an operating process that results in the implementation of specific programs and actions and that assigns accountability. This kind of effective operating process goes way beyond the typical budget exercise that looks into a rearview mirror to set its goals. It puts reality behind the numbers and is where the rubber meets the road.
Putting an execution culture in place is hard, but losing it is easy. In July 2001 Larry Bossidy was asked by the board of directors of Honeywell International (it had merged with AlliedSignal) to return and get the company back on track. He's been putting the ideas he writes about in Execution to work in real time.
