New Releases by Gary Hamel

A powerful new edition of the Wall Street Journal bestseller that helps leaders build radically more human—and capable—organizations. Now more than ever, we need organizations that are daring, resilient, and creative. Unfortunately, when confronted by unprecedented challenges, most companies and institutions prove to be timid, plodding, and orthodox. The culprit is bureaucracy. With its top-down power structures and rule-choked systems, bureaucracy hobbles ingenuity and innovation. In a time of upheaval, these long-tolerated impediments are fast becoming competitively and economically untenable. Humanity needs and deserves something better. In Humanocracy, Gary Hamel and Michele Zanini make a passionate, data-driven argument for uninstalling bureaucracy and reinventing management as we know it. In this extensively updated and expanded edition, readers will find new and compelling case studies, the latest research findings, and a wealth of fresh and provocative insights. Humanocracy is both a manifesto for institutional renewal and a blueprint for building organizations that are as courageous, energetic, and ingenious as the people inside them. Essential building blocks include: Motivation: Rallying colleagues to the challenge of reimagining management as usual Models: Leveraging the experience of vanguard organizations that have successfully disrupted the bureaucratic status quo Mindsets: Escaping the industrial-age thinking that undermines the quest to build radically more capable organizations Mobilization: Activating a pro-change coalition to hack outmoded management systems and processes Migration: Embedding the principles of humanocracy—ownership, markets, meritocracy, community, openness, experimentation, and paradox—in your organization's DNA If you've finally run out of patience with bureaucratic bullshit; if you're eager to build an organization that can outrun change and outperform expectations; if you believe every team member deserves the chance to do something extraordinary, then this book's for you.

This is not a book about one thing. It's not a 250-page dissertation on leadership, teams or motivation. Instead, it's an agenda for building organizations that can flourish in a world of diminished hopes, relentless change and ferocious competition. This is not a book about doing better. It's not a manual for people who want to tinker at the margins. Instead, it's an impassioned plea to reinvent management as we know it—to rethink the fundamental assumptions we have about capitalism, organizational life, and the meaning of work. Leaders today confront a world where the unprecedented is the norm. Wherever one looks, one sees the exceptional and the extraordinary: Business newspapers decrying the state of capitalism. Once-innovative companies struggling to save off senescence. Next gen employees shunning blue chips for social start-ups. Corporate miscreants getting pilloried in the blogosphere. Entry barriers tumbling in what were once oligopolistic strongholds. Hundred year-old business models being rendered irrelevant overnight. Newbie organizations crowdsourcing their most creative work. National governments lurching towards bankruptcy. Investors angrily confronting greedy CEOs and complacent boards. Newly omnipotent customers eagerly wielding their power. Social media dramatically transforming the way human beings connect, learn and collaborate. Obviously, there are lots of things that matter now. But in a world of fractured certainties and battered trust, some things matter more than others. While the challenges facing organizations are limitless; leadership bandwidth isn't. That's why you have to be clear about what really matters now. What are the fundamental, make-or-break issues that will determine whether your organization thrives or dives in the years ahead? Hamel identifies five issues are that are paramount: values, innovation, adaptability, passion and ideology. In doing so he presents an essential agenda for leaders everywhere who are eager to... move from defense to offense reverse the tide of commoditization defeat bureaucracy astonish their customers foster extraordinary contribution capture the moral high ground outrun change build a company that's truly fit for the future Concise and to the point, the book will inspire you to rethink your business, your company and how you lead.

"Considerado como uno de los consultores más influyentes en temas de administración y estrategia empresarial, Gary Hamel hace en este libro un llamado urgente a directivos y gerentes empresariales para que vuelvan a lo prioritario, a lo que verdaderamente debe importar en sus organizaciones. No invita a un retorno hacia lo tradicional o a las fórmulas que dieron fruto en el pasado; por el contrario, lo primordial para el autor es reinventar lo esencial, crear nuevos comportamiento corporativos que exalten las virtudes , recuperar la humanidad en los ambientes laborales, acabar con todo aquello que ha cuestionado la ética en los negocios, innovar con inteligencia ante los cambios, encontrar maneras originales para conducir a las empresas, entre otros imperativos. Lo que importa ahora no es un libro para los que quieran pasar desapercibidos en su compañía, sino para aquellos dispuestos a arriesgarse a cuestionar sus modelos y creencias sobre el capitalismo, las instituciones y la vida laboral; es un libro para quienes deseen ser protagonistas del curso que tomen las organizaciones para encarar los retos por venir de manera innovadora, humana y eficiente." --Contratapa.

What fuels long-term business success? Not operational excellence, technology breakthroughs, or new business models, but management innovation—new ways of mobilizing talent, allocating resources, and formulating strategies. Through history, management innovation has enabled companies to cross new performance thresholds and build enduring advantages. In The Future of Management, Gary Hamel argues that organizations need management innovation now more than ever. Why? The management paradigm of the last century—centered on control and efficiency—no longer suffices in a world where adaptability and creativity drive business success. To thrive in the future, companies must reinvent management. Hamel explains how to turn your company into a serial management innovator, revealing: The make-or-break challenges that will determine competitive success in an age of relentless, head-snapping change. The toxic effects of traditional management beliefs. The unconventional management practices generating breakthrough results in “modern management pioneers.” The radical principles that will need to become part of every company’s “management DNA.” The steps your company can take now to build your “management advantage.” Practical and profound, The Future of Management features examples from Google, W.L. Gore, Whole Foods, IBM, Samsung, Best Buy, and other blue-ribbon management innovators.

Betoog over de huidige, verouderde managementmodellen, die bureaucratie in de hand werken en creativiteit in de kiem smoren.

Traduit dans plus d''une dizaine de langues, La Conquête du futur propose une réflexion originale en matière de stratégie et de concurrence. Préoccupées par des programmes de réduction d''effectifs, de restructuration et d''organisation, nombre d''entreprises ont négligé une réflexion approfondie sur leur stratégie. Celle-ci est peu à peu tombée en discrédit au profit de questions opérationnelles. Cet ouvrage part du principe que le travail " à la marge " en termes de coûts, de rapidité ou de qualité a atteint ses limites. Les entreprises doivent désormais se choisir un avenir parmi tous ceux que permettent les évolutions de la technologie, des modes de vie, du travail et de la géopolitique. Celles qui ne parviendront pas à imaginer le futur ne seront bientôt plus là pour en profiter. L''objectif doit consister à réinventer l''espace concurrentiel existant, voire à créer de toute pièce un espace concurrentiel nouveau. Pour être capable de faire la révolution sur son secteur d''activités ou sur son marché, la formulation ou reformulation de la stratégie demeure un préalable indispensable et un exercice aussi gratifiant que difficile. En étudiant la dynamique d''accumulation de compétences de nombreuses entreprises, cet ouvrage invite les dirigeants et entrepreneurs à construire leur avenir plutôt qu''à le subir.

Mondialisation et accélération technologique contraignent les entreprises à ne plus jouer seules. Qu'il s'agisse de mettre en commun des ressources ou d'atteindre une taille critique permettant d'agir au niveau mondial, s'allier est une nécessité stratégique. Dans ce mouvement irréversible, de nombreuses alliances, pourtant annoncées à grand renfort médiatique, s'ensablent ou échouent. Pourquoi ? C'est la nature même des alliances qui a changé et nombre de dirigeants, habitués à négocier et gérer de traditionnels joint-ventures, n'ont pas pris la mesure de la mutation en cours. Adoptant une approche originale et rigoureuse, cet ouvrage analyse la nature, les enjeux et les contraintes des alliances. Mais les auteurs en déduisent un grand nombre de règles et de conseils opérationnels pour les responsables qui les conduisent. Bien avant de traiter des aspects juridiques et contractuels de l'alliance, puis de sa gestion au quotidien, ils invitent le lecteur à s'intéresser à la logique de création de valeur sur laquelle repose l'alliance envisagée, et dont découleront son architecture et sa performance : s'agit-il de cooptation ? de cospécialisation ? ou d'apprentissage réciproque ? Où se situent les probables conflits d'intérêts ? Où s'arrête le partenariat et où commence la concurrence ? Faisant largement appel à des exemples réels étudiés en détail tels, entre autres, que les diverses alliances de Xerox, Boeing, Honda, Corning, Airbus, General Electric et Snecma, ce guide stratégique examine les meilleures pratiques pour créer de la valeur et rendre les alliances plus efficaces. Cette réflexion exhaustive aidera les dirigeants et cadres chargés de la stratégie, du développement international et de la gestion des alliances à construire de nouvelles collaborations ou améliorer celles dont ils sont déjà responsables.
