The 80/20 Principle: The Secret to Achieving More with Less

Textbook - The 80/20 Principle: The Secret to Achieving More with Less ISBN: 0385491743
Binding: Paperback
Edition:
Author(s): Richard Koch
Publisher: Crown Business
Number of Pages: 288

How anyone can be more effective with less effort by learning how to identify and leverage the 8020 principle--the well-known unpublicized secret that 80 percent of all our results in business and in life stem from a mere 20 percent of our efforts

The 8020 principle is one of the great secrets of highly effective people and organizations

Did you know for example that 20 percent of customers account for 80 percent of revenues That 20 percent of our time accounts for 80 percent of the work we accomplish The 8020 Principle shows how we can achieve much more with much less effort time and resources simply by identifying and focusing our efforts on the 20 percent that really counts Although the 8020 principle has long influenced today's business world author Richard Koch reveals how the principle works and shows how we can use it in a systematic and practical way to vastly increase our effectiveness and improve our careers and our companies

The unspoken corollary to the 8020 principle is that little of what we spend our time on actually counts But by concentrating on those things that do we can unlock the enormous potential of the magic 20 percent and transform our effectiveness in our jobs our careers our businesses and our lives

Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't

Textbook - Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't ISBN: 0066620996
Binding: Hardcover
Edition: 1
Author(s): Jim Collins
Publisher: HarperBusiness
Number of Pages: 300

The Challenge:
Built to Last the defining management study of the nineties showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning But what about the company that is not born with great DNA How can good companies mediocre companies even bad companies achieve enduring greatness The Study:
For years this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority And if so what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great The Standards:
Using tough benchmarks Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years How great After the leap the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies including Coca-Cola Intel General Electric and Merck The Comparisons:
The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great What was different Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good Over five years the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness -- why some companies make the leap and others don't The Findings:
The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice The findings include:
  • Level 5 Leaders: The research team was shocked to discover the type of leadership required to achieve greatness
  • The Hedgehog Concept: (Simplicity within the Three Circles): To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence
  • A Culture of Discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship you get the magical alchemy of great results Technology Accelerators: Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology
  • The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap
  • Some of the key concepts discerned in the study comments Jim Collins "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will quite frankly upset some people Perhaps but who can afford to ignore these findings
