MANAGING FOR SUCCESS: SPOTTING DANGER SIGNALS - AND FIXING PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY HAPPEN

Book ID/图书代码： 02000015B80267

English Summary/英文概要： The damage that incompetent managers do is incalculable. Every year they wipe tens of billions off the value of companies around the world. But the routinely incompetent behaviour that leads to failure is often covered up, incompetent managers are paid off and the causes of failure are swept under the carpet. Yet, most of these failures could have been avoided if only we knew how to spot the signs of incompetence in advance,and take steps to prevent it happening. Prevention is always better, and cheaper, than cure.

Morgen Witzel tackles the problem of incompetence in the round by exploring the political, cultural, psychological and personal factors that lead to incompetency at every level of business. Arrogance, excessive reliance on formal plans and metrics, lack of professional pride, and poor and misguided business education and training are among the problems that drag businesses down.

Using international case studies from Ford Motor Company, Royal Ahold and Lehman Brothers, practical solutions are provided for avoiding incompetence by changing the culture within organizations and the ways in which managers are trained and developed to truly manage for success and minimise failure.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 无能的管理人员所造成的后果是无法估量的，他们每年都会给全球各地的公司造成成千上百亿的损失。但通常都很难发现这些失职行为，而那些无能的管理人员依然在领取丰厚的报酬。而只要我们知道如何提前发现问题并采取措施阻止其发生，便可以避免大部分问题的发生。预防措施总是比治疗措施效果更好、投入更少。
