SelectBooks Verne Harnish (2002)

In this bestseller, Verne Harnish shares business lessons that can drawn from case studies of ten different organizations: Castek Software Factory Express-Med, HRF Exploration & Production, the Lawrence Group, a logical choice Technologies, Marlo Furniture, Wood McKinney, Middle Muffins, Orion International, and the bike shop. In fact, Harnish acknowledges that he learned three important lessons from the biography by Ron Chernow, Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr., framed as questions:

1. "Does the organization target the top 5 priorities for the year and quarter and a clear priority Top 1 together with a topic?"

2. "Does the organization have sufficient information on a daily and weekly basis to give an idea of \u200b\u200bhow the organization is running and what the market is demanding?

3. "Does the organization have an effective rhythm of daily meetings, weekly, quarterly and yearly to maintain alignment and accountability to drive?"

These questions suggest issues that leaders in any organization (regardless of size or nature) must deal regularly with sufficient rigor and openness. Leaders of ten organizations doing exemplary to ensure that (a) everything they do and are planning to do is of great importance to their customers and prospects, and (b) everything they do or plan to do the will of differentiate your organization from your competitors. Show how to design a powerful "engine" to drive innovation, sales and profits.

In my opinion, this is one of the most practical business books written in recent years, providing material based on a wide variety of real-world situations and full of ideas and suggestions that any leader can make immediate use. Yes, you can help increase the value of a company growing as the subtitle indicates, it also can help leaders start-ups to keep most (if not all) of the mistakes that companies most new punishment . I also I recommend it to those who are now preparing for a career in business or have only recently embarked on.
