Winning Management Strategies for the Real World
by Tom Peters Robert Townsend[/center]
[justify]1. Getting the Job Done
How to tell if you're a leader. Timing. What to remember when you're promoted. Myths. When you're "bullet proof." When trivial actions pay big dividends. Listening to liberate. Inside secrets of delegating.
2. Getting the Job Done (cont'd)
Urgency. Humor. Team players versus yes-people. The problem with hiring MBAs. An alternative to hiring consultants. The near miracle that takes place when employees accept responsibility. The "swoop down" phenomenon.
3. People Helping People
Mentoring: positives and negatives. Personal recollections of mentors. Innovation in action. Establishing an atmosphere that creates heroes. Creating a reward program that motivates. Dealing with difficult bosses.
4. How to De-clutter Your Life
Simple ways to correct the problems caused by over-staffing. Ridding your organization of insulation from reality. Why Wal-Mart won't expand corporate headquarters. Eliminating storage. Reducing scrap. The right mission.
5. Innovation: Move as Fast as You Can
Presenting your ideas in a way that gets the attention of management. Gaining management support. When success isn't enough. Why we are losing our competitive edge-bureaucracy, distancing, turf-guarding. Down-sizing.
6. Selling Innovation Through Results
Energizing others to support innovation. Thinking unthinkable thoughts. Using the buddy system to get cooking. Where innovation won't work. Your Spartan team won't need much money. Keep your harsh words out of memos.
7. The Decentralization of Information
Becoming a "trusted partner." Exploiting the strategic value of information without getting bogged down with the unessential. What happens when customers visit the plant. Newsletters and bulletin boards. When employees visit customers.
8. The Problem with Marketing
Racing the marketing responsibility in the operating divisions, rather than in corporate headquarters. Market research can be inexpensive. Using current customers as your best salespeople. Evidence that quality pays.
9. No Such Thing as a Tiny Improvement
The magic that happens when all employees finally understand they can change the system. How innovative companies handle today's challenges. The negative side of building a strong team-jealousy. Twelve reasons why quality programs fail.
10. Saying Thanks
Forgetting the "ideal employee" profile and just hiring nice people. Thanking rituals. The employee party held in Acapulco. Avis's 100 Club. Helping union workers become more quality conscious. Bonus systems that work-and ones that don't
11. Exceptional Service/Fewer People
Giving people a winning streak. General Patton's morale-building system. Volunteers for attrition. When fewer people being paid less really helps solve the problem. Ways to regain lost focus in an organization.
12. What's Your Mission?
Distilling multiple and lengthy goals and mission statements. Reexamining them every five years. Try living them first before writing them down. A common path to disaster. Forget career planning. Don't ask for raises. Finding balance in your life.
