Paperback. Condición: New. There are roadblocks to progress built into the current way many corporations operate. From retail to manufacturing to even the publishing industry, it seems that old patterns continue to exist. When these are combined with ineffective strategies and poor leadership, they cause many corporations to 'limp along', get into insurmountable debt and/or fail to perform as profitably as they could, and never reach the potential for which they were created. These patterns must change -- and can change - with new learning and leadership. Despite the plethora of information and many books on the market, there are several key issues in the business world that business leaders have still been unable to solve. This book has solved them for other leaders in countries outside the USA proven by the fact the book has sold +40,000 units to date in the Spanish edition.

Failed strategies put companies at risk and damage their competitive position. The root cause of failed strategies is poor execution. Wasting time in meetings Meetings are major time wasters for executives worldwide. The way most companies organize and carry out their meetings results in huge amounts of time being wasted by unfocused and undisciplined events."Meetings are one of those necessary evils of business; important for exchanging thoughts and ideas, making plans, and reviewing progress, but all too often interminably long and a huge drain on cost and productivity." [The Guardian 2014]. Overload of emails Email overload is a problem facing many organizations. Email overload is costing billions as high skill knowledge workers spend 28% of their workweek managing email. [Forbes 2014]. While important emails should be answered, the vast majority of the emails are unnecessary. The root cause is that emails are sent in such volumes because responsibilities are ill defined in many organizations and managers feel they need to copy a huge list of peop.
