Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
Every CEO is today under intense pressure from shareholders and outside analysts to generate performance breakthroughs. If visible progress towards a breakthrough isn’t seen within a year or two, then it becomes highly likely the new CEO will be ousted for someone else. A very fast start is required.
The managers who meet this fast start imperative generally do so because they rely on two keys to success:
They understand the principles which underpin success in business and therefore see things others don’t, do things others won’t consider and avoid the traps others fall into.
They assess their organization’s full potential, diagnose their starting point accurately, craft a realistic set of objectives and then map a trajectory from where they currently are to where they want their organization to be in the future.
Just understanding the fundamentals of business alone isn’t enough. Nor is knowing how an organization can improve sufficient in and of itself. It is the combination of these two factors which leads to the fast start and then ongoing success which is required.
