Best Selling Books by Larry Bossidy

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than two million copies in print! The premier resource for how to deliver results in an uncertain world, whether you’re running an entire company or in your first management job. “A must-read for anyone who cares about business.”—The New York Times When Execution was first published, it changed the way we did our jobs by focusing on the critical importance of “the discipline of execution”: the ability to make the final leap to success by actually getting things done. Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan now reframe their empowering message for a world in which the old rules have been shattered, radical change is becoming routine, and the ability to execute is more important than ever. Now and for the foreseeable future: • Growth will be slower. But the company that executes well will have the confidence, speed, and resources to move fast as new opportunities emerge. • Competition will be fiercer, with companies searching for any possible advantage in every area from products and technologies to location and management. • Governments will take on new roles in their national economies, some as partners to business, others imposing constraints. Companies that execute well will be more attractive to government entities as partners and suppliers and better prepared to adapt to a new wave of regulation. • Risk management will become a top priority for every leader. Execution gives you an edge in detecting new internal and external threats and in weathering crises that can never be fully predicted. Execution shows 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. With paradigmatic case histories from the real world—including examples like the diverging paths taken by Jamie Dimon at JPMorgan Chase and Charles Prince at Citigroup—Execution provides the realistic and hard-nosed approach to business success that could come only from authors as accomplished and insightful as Bossidy and Charan.

Confronting Reality will change the way you think about and run your business. It is the first book that shows how to connect the big picture of the new era of business with the nitty-gritty of what to do about it. Through a completely new way to understand and use the business model as the primary tool for confronting reality—a breakthrough that will become the management innovation of this decade—you’ll know sooner rather than later whether your fundamental business premise is under assault, where your best opportunities lie, what you should change and what you should leave alone, and how to realistically plan the future of your business. The fundamentals of how a business makes money are being rapidly and permanently altered by sweeping structural changes. With their extraordinary depth and breadth of experience, Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan are the ideal guides for everyone—entrepreneur, mid-level manager, or CEO—about what is to be done so you can get things right in this challenging, radically changed world. They start by showing you how to understand the most fundamental element of any business: whether you can realistically make the money you hope to in the game you’re playing. Bossidy and Charan show how to use the business model to develop a robust, reality-based process for thinking about the speci?cs of your business in a holistic way. They show how to tie together the financial targets you must meet, the external realities you face, and internal activities such as strategy development, operating tactics, and selection and development of people. Through the lens of the business model, as well as the skillful use of initiatives and development of people with the right leadership characteristics, you’ll see how Robert Nardelli at Home Depot, Jim McNerney at 3M, Dick Harrington at the Thomson Corporation, Michael Wisbrun at KLM, Joseph Tucci at EMC, and John Chambers at Cisco confronted reality. Whether they faced crisis or opportunity, all made the right kinds of changes through a combination of business savvy (the art of understanding the fundamentals driving a business) and business model thinking.

Ob Erfolg oder Misserfolg hängt nur von einem ab: der Durchführung in der Praxis. Die tollste Idee, der kühnste Plan, die gewagteste Innovation – sie alle sind zum Scheitern verurteilt, wenn sie schlecht oder gar nicht umgesetzt werden. »Managen heißt machen« zeigt, worauf es ankommt, wenn man hochgesteckte Ziele und perfekte Resultate erreichen will. Management-Guru Ram Charan und sein Koautor Larry Bossidy analysieren die Schnittstellen zwischen festgelegter Strategie und praktischer Umsetzung. Schritt für Schritt erklären sie den Weg zum Erfolg und versetzen den Leser in die Lage, die entscheidenden Herausforderungen zu bewältigen – mit den richtigen Prioritäten zu führen, Mitarbeiter optimal einzusetzen und Arbeitsabläufe zu perfektionieren.

Un completo análisis de los diferentes estilos de dirección de empresas. Los autores defienden que los tres componentes fundamentales en los que hay que trabajar son el entorno, las metas financieras y las capacidades internas.

À une heure tardive, un P.-D.G. était assis à son bureau, l''air complètement lessivé. Il avait un interlocuteur, auquel il aurait voulu expliquer pourquoi son excellente stratégie avait échoué. Mais il ignorait où se trouvait la faille. C''est trop rageant, disait-il, voilà un an que j''ai monté ce groupe, en prenant des gens de chaque département. Nous avons eu deux réunions au complet, nous avons fait des analyses comparatives, les évaluations étaient bonnes. McKinsey nous a aidés. Tout le monde était d''accord sur ce plan. Il était bon, et le marché était favorable. Pourtant, la fin de l''exercice est arrivée et nous n''avions pas rempli nos objectifs. Ils m''ont lâché ; ils n''ont pas fourni les résultats prévus. Au cours des neuf derniers mois, j''ai diminué à quatre reprises nos prévisions de recettes. Nous avons perdu notre crédibilité en Bourse. Et moi, j''ai probablement perdu toute crédibilité auprès de mon conseil d''administration, je ne sais pas quoi faire, et j''ignore à quel point la situation peut s''aggraver. Ça ne m''étonnerait pas qu''ils me virent. Quelques semaines plus tard, il était effectivement viré. Dans ce best-seller présent de nombreuses semaines dans les meilleures ventes de Publishers Weekly et du New York Times L. Bossidy et R. Charan révèlent les erreurs commises par ce dirigeant. Si vous voulez devenir patron - ou si vous l''êtes déjà, et que vous voulez conserver votre job - lisez ce livre et n''attendez pas pour mettre en pratique ses enseignements !
