The CEO's Strategy Handbook: How to Create, Sustain and Accelerate Profit Growth

Rate this book
There are many books on strategy, but very few focus on helping CEOs fulfill their role in leading strategy in their organization. The CEO’s Strategy Handbook will give CEOs and senior executives provocative insights and pragmatic advice to setting strategy, leading the strategy process, and turning winning strategies into great results.

The term strategy has, with the help of consultants and academics, developed a mystique that makes it sound difficult, complicated and only for people with an IQ greater than 150. Stuart Cross smashes through this misconception, showing CEOs that this critical element in improving the performance of their business is a straightforward―and even enjoyable―process that they can feel confident in mastering.

The fundamentals to great strategy and effective implementation remain the same. Setting a clear direction, rigorously identifying and pursuing opportunities where the organization has competitive advantages, combined with an ability to make trade-offs, focus on priorities, communicate the bigger picture and drive accountabilities are the ways in which the CEO can make a strategy come to life and deliver dramatic and sustainable success.

This book shows CEOs how they can make this happen in their own organization. It includes case studies, self-tests, interviews with leading CEOs, charts, frameworks and action plans to bring the ideas alive for the readers.

Стратегийн тухай ярилцахад алсын хараа, эрхэм зорилгын тухай зайлшгүй авч үздэг. Хаа хүрэхээ тодорхойлоогүй тохиолдолд яаж хүрэх аргын тухай ярих нь учир үл ойлгогдом. Төсөөлбөл захирал нь за хэдүүлээ явнаа гэдэг гэтэл хаашаа явж буйгаа захирал нь ч мэдэхгүй зүгээр л яваад байя гэвэл ямар байна? Захиралыгаа дагаж яваа ажилтнууд урдах алхамаа л харан хараа муутай хүн шиг магадгүй захирал нь бас ижил гэсэн үг. Заримдаа явж л байсан явуулж л байна гэсэн маягаар удирдсан болдог нөхдүүд байж байдаг үед энэ талаар ярих нь илүүц. Гэтэл байгууллагыг урагш ахиулах, хөгжүүлэх, инноваци хийж чадахгүй байх нь хөгжлийн хувьд гацааж байгаа л хэлбэр. Зарим байгууллага учир үл ойлгогдом хийсвэр, гоёчилсон, толгой холбосон хэлбэртэй эрхэм зорилго, алсын хараатай байж л байдаг. Бодвол нэг яруу найрагч бичсэн байж ч мэдэх. Тэгэхээр алсын хараагаа ядаж бодитой тодорхойлоход цаг зарцуулбал ирэх оны төлөвлөгөө хялбар болно.
