Бо Бёрлингем — новинки

No two exit experiences are exactly alike. Some people wind up happy with the process and satisfied with the way it turned out, while others look back on it as a nightmare. The question I hope to answer in this book is why. What did the people with 'good' exits do differently from those who'd had 'bad' exits?'
Bo Burlingham's first book Small Giants became an instant classic for its original take on a common business problem: how to handle the pressure to grow. Now he is back to tackle an even more common problem: how to exit your company well.
Sooner or later, all businesses get sold, given away, or liquidated. Whatever your preferred outcome, if you start planning for it while you still have time and options, you can build a stronger, more resilient company with a higher market value. Unfortunately, most don't - and they pay a steep price for their procrastination.
Through dozens of interviews with entrepreneurs across a range of industries, Burlingham identifies eight key factors that determine whether owners leave their businesses happily. He showcases the insights, exits and cautionary tales of entrepreneurs across an array of industries including manufacturing, food and services.
Finish Big is an illuminating and inspirational guide to one of the most stressful, and yet potentially rewarding, processes business owners must go through.

Эта книга рассказывает о революционном подходе к менеджменту, который помог автору поднять погибающую компанию на новый уровень и добиться высочайшей вовлеченности сотрудников.
Эта философия не была придумана на мозговых штурмах или в престижных бизнес-школах. Она родилась на предприятии, которое отчаянно пытались спасти от банкротства. Она значительно отличается от общепринятой философии ведения бизнеса, в ее основе находится следующее правило: каждый сотрудник компании должен иметь право голоса и участвовать в обсуждении всех важных вопросов и результатов деятельности компании, в том числе и финансовых.
Такой способ ведения дел превращает бизнес в игру, пробуждает в людях интерес, желание соперничать и побеждать, делает их вовлеченными. Эффективность подхода была доказана автором и его сотрудниками. Он смог сделать из предприятия-банкрота успешную компанию. Несмотря на большие долги (9 миллионов долларов при практически полном отсутствии собственных средств), компания выжила и стала расти: за восемь лет число сотрудников выросло со 119 до 650 человек, годовая выручка выросла с 16 до 70 миллионов долларов, стоимость акций поднялась с 10 центов до 18 долларов.

Для кого эта книга

Для руководителей и менеджеров, которые хотят создать сильную команду сотрудников, объединенную общей целью.

Книга расскажет, как отказаться от бесконечной погони за прибылью и при этом создать лучшую компанию. «Хорошая компания должна увеличивать свою выручку и прибыль каждый год». Это одна из аксиом бизнеса. Но некоторые компании отказываются от этих бесконечных «гонок на трамваях», чтобы сосредоточиться на более важных целях: стать лучшими в своем деле, предоставить своим клиентам уникальный опыт, создать потрясающее рабочее пространство для сотрудников... Автор тщательно исследовал истории четырнадцати компаний, которые решили стать лучшими на своих рынках и старались создавать идеальные продукты и услуги, а не гнаться за…

Finish Big is an illuminating and inspirational guide to one of the most stressful, and yet potentially rewarding, processes business owners must go through.

It’s an axiom of business that great companies grow their revenues and profits year after year. Yet quietly, under the radar, a small number of companies have rejected the pressure of endless growth to focus on more satisfying business goals. Goals like being great at what they do . . . creating a great place to work . . . providing great customer service . . . making great contributions to their communities . . . and finding great ways to lead their lives. In Small Giants, veteran journalist Bo Burlingham takes us deep inside fourteen remarkable companies that have chosen to march to their own drummer. They include Anchor Brewing, the…

Most books about successful businesses focus on public companies, where the definition for success is steady growth in revenue and profits. Yet there are many excellent, privately held companies marching to the beat of a different drum; they have stricken revenue and profit growth from the top of their mission statements. Instead, they define themselves by their passion for their products and their commitment to their employees, customers, and community, embracing a clarity and loyalty to purpose that's an anomaly in today's environment. Small Giants is a fascinating book about the unconventional people who run these purpose-driven companies. Longtime Inc. magazine editor Bo Burlingham takes us deep inside these companies to determine the secret ingredient, the elusive "mojo" that makes them great. He profiles fourteen of the best, including Anchor Brewing, CitiStorage, Clif Bar Inc., Righteous Babe Records, Reel Precision Manufacturing, and Zingerman's Community of Businesses. These companies are consistently profitable yet have consciously resisted convention by staying small and great instead of becoming large and mediocre. For anyone who wants to explore America's most innovative and inspiring small business successes, this unique book is the place to start.

Написанная легким, живым языком книга профессионального менеджера Джека Стэка "Большая игра в бизнес" интересна для любого, кто намерен серьезно заняться или уже занимается этим чрезвычайно увлекательным, по мнению автора, делом.

In the early 1980s, Springfield Remanufacturing Corporation (SRC) in Springfield, Missouri, was a near bankrupt division of International Harvester. That's when a green young manager, Jack Stack, took over and turned it around. He didn't know how to "manage" a company, but he did know about the principal, of athletic competition and democracy: keeping score, having fun, playing fair, providing choice, and having a voice. With these principals he created his own style of management -- open-book management. The key is to let everyone in on financial decisions. At SRC, everyone learns how to read a P&L -- even those without a high school education know how much the toilet paper they use cuts into profits. SRC people have a piece of the action and a vote in company matters. Imagine having a vote on your bonus and on what businesses the company should be in. SRC restored the dignity of economic freedom to its people. Stack's "open-book management" is the key -- a system which, as he describes it here, is literally a game, and one so simple anyone can use it. As part of the Currency paperback line, the book includes a "User's Guide" -- an introduction and discussion guide created for the paperback by the author -- to help readers make practical use of the book's ideas. Jack Stack is the president and CEO of the Springfield Remanufacturing Corporation, in Springfield, Missouri. The recipient of the 1993 Business Enterprise Trust Award, Jack speaks throughout the country on The Great Game Of Business and Open Book Management.
