Leadership Problems

Family businesses—from massive corporations like Walmart to the mom-and-pop store on your local street—have always been a vital part of the American life and economy. But as these family-owned companies evolve and grow, so too do their unique difficulties and the need for dynamic leadership. And as more women rise into leadership roles within commonly male-dominated organizations, challenges abound in already tense environments, where family members also happen to be one's coworkers—and superiors.

The biggest threat facing modern business is the sheer complexity of an uncertain future. That, and the fact that everyone is busy. Too busy for progress. Workplace cultures have become cursed with efficiency. And so when it comes to developing strategy, we default to our defaults. We favor quick fixes, easy templates, and familiar approaches, developing 'robust plans' that do little to mitigate strategic risk or generate new value. The result? The future comes, and businesses die.

One thing in life is certain: Change is constant. Thanks to the rapid pace of technological innovation in the digital age - and further accelerated by the global COVID-19 pandemic - massive structural change is happening on a greater scale than ever before. Faced with unprecedented complexity and uncertainty, most business leaders struggle to see the way forward. Company organization, systems, and management are still largely based on what was most effective in the Industrial Age. Disruption Proof offers a new approach that addresses our current reality.

Companies need to grow, innovate, and adapt to changing needs. But stressed-out employees rarely go the extra mile, chaos rarely produces agility or speed, and it’s hard innovate or grow while bleeding talent to turnover and quiet quitting. This is how change stymies the very progress that it seeks. Drawing on decades spent leading HR operations at Deloitte and Cisco, Ashley Goodall explores the essential nature of human performance and offers a radical new alternative to the constant turbulence that defines corporate life.

Go ahead, be skeptical about big data. The author was - at first.

I have been in hospitality management for over 40 years and have been “mismanaging” my own life for over 60. Management One-Point-Oh is the culmination of what I have learned and what I have not learned. It's about both.

Despite the dizzying amount of data at our disposal today - and an increasing reliance on analytics to make the majority of our decisions - many of our most critical choices still come down to human judgment. This fact is fundamental to organizations whose leaders must often make crucial decisions: to do this they need the best available insights. This book introduces a model that taps the collective judgment of an organization so that the right decisions are made, and the entire organization profits.

"Radikal führen – das bedeutet Konzentration auf das Wesentliche, Klarheit und Konsequenz. Hier geht es um das Kerngeschäft der Führung, um fünf fundamentale Aufgaben, die eherne Wegweiser im Dickicht der Moden und Aufgeregtheiten sind. Sie sind unabhängig von Unternehmenskulturen und Kompetenzen der Führungskraft. Und sie stehen im provokativen Kontrast zum herkömmlichen Führungsalltag." Reinhard K. Sprenger
