Morten T. Hansen Livres

Enumerates the principles for building a truly great enterprise in unpredictable, tumultuous and fast-moving times.

In "Collaboration", author Morten Hansen takes aim at what many leaders inherently know: in today's competitive environment, companywide collaboration is an imperative for successful strategy execution, yet the sought-after synergies are rarely, if ever, realized. In fact, most cross-unit collaborative efforts end up wasting time, money, and resources. How can managers avoid the costly traps of collaboration and instead start getting the results they need? In this book, Hansen shows managers how to get collaboration right through 'disciplined collaboration'. Based on the author's long-running research, in-depth case studies, and company interviews, "Collaboration" delivers practical advice and tools to help your organization collaborate for real results

From the New York Times bestselling author of Great by Choice comes an authoritative guide to individual performance, grounded in a groundbreaking five-year study of over 5,000 managers and employees. Morten Hansen explores why some individuals excel at work while others do not, presenting his 'Seven Work Smarter Practices' designed to help anyone maximize their time and performance. Each practice is illustrated with inspiring stories from his research, featuring a high school principal who transformed a failing school, a rural Indian farmer improving life for women in his village, and a sushi chef whose simple techniques earned his restaurant three Michelin stars. Hansen also draws parallels between his practices and the filmmaking of Alfred Hitchcock in Psycho, as well as the historic race to the South Pole, showcasing their relevance even before they were formally identified. Each chapter includes questions and insights for assessing personal performance, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and offers mini-quizzes and tips to develop a more productive work strategy. Extensive and user-friendly, this guide aims to help you achieve more by working less, supported by robust statistical analysis.

Deset let po celosvětově úspěšném bestselleru „Jak z dobré firmy udělat skvělou“ přichází Jim Collins s dalším průkopnickým dílem, ve které si klade otázku, proč některé firmy v nejistých časech nebo dokonce v chaosu prosperují, zatímco jiné strádají? Na základě devítiletého výzkumu podpořeného důkladnou analýzou a naplněného poutavými příběhy Collins a jeho kolega Morten Hansen představují principy budování skvělé firmy v nepředvídatelném, bouřlivém a rychle se měnícím prostředí. Tato kniha je klasický Collins: polemizující, empirický a povznášející. Spolu s Hansenem přesvědčivě ukazují, že i v nejistém a chaotickém světě je dosažení úspěchu otázkou volby, nikoliv náhody.
