Description

From Napoleon through Jack Welch, great leaders have always "borrowed" great ideas from others. The Art of What Works cuts against the grain of today's one-size-fits-all strategic gurus to argue that there are no intrinsically good or bad strategies - just flexible strategies that work best in given situations. Welch's appropriation of Six Sigma from Motorola, and use of its best features to revitalize GE, is a recent example of this approach.In this insightful and practical guide, leading strategist William Duggan lays the groundwork for building new strategic frameworks by observing what works - and what doesn't - in the real world. The Art of What Works shows business professionals how to: * Recognize and adopt great ideas and strategies * Modify strategically sound ideas to their own benefit * Decide on a course of action - then modify it when necessary"
