Hardback. Zustand: Good. Reinvent best practices that have become bad habits  Without meaning to, and often with the best of intentions, most organizations continually waste precious time and money on processes and activities that don't create value and no longer make sense in today's business environment. Until now, the relatively slow speed of marketplace evolution has allowed wasteful habits to continue without consequence. This reality is ending. Detonate explains how organizations built up bad habits, identifies which ones masquerade as "best practices," and suggests alternatives that can contribute to winning in the marketplace. With a focus on optimism and empowerment, it focuses on an approach and mindset which are critical to successfully compete in an era characterized by profound technological advances and uncertainty.  ?    Core themes challenge how you think about and approach problems ?    Case studies illustrate the challenges you face and how to overcome them ?    Recommendations are pragmatic and steer clear of suggesting a brand-new, complicated wiring diagram ?    Actionable advice provides the first steps down an evolutionary pathIf you want to compete differently in today?s marketplace and to challenge the things your company does which you have a nagging feeling are actually just a waste of time ? and maybe value-destroying ? Detonate gives you what you need to ignite change.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. NATIONAL BESTSELLERTHINKERS50 BEST NEW MANAGEMENT BOOKS FOR 2026 A clarion call to business leaders to recast their conception of leadership and strategy execution to meet the demands of the modern world Have a problem with your organization's strategy in an era of accelerating, exponential change? Modern business orthodoxy has an easy answer: transform it. Hone: How Purposeful Leaders Defy Drift argues this thinking is itself in need of an overhaul. Rather than devote time to expensive, long, and often unsuccessful transformations, leaders should instead focus on holistically designing and honing the management systems that are the nervous systems of their businesses. They can take a cue from chefs and other artisans and hone their organizations. After all, honing doesn't sharpen knives; it realigns a knife's steel to its original position. Choosing and honing the set of management systems that promote an organization's desired outcomes (and uninstalling them when they are past their prime) is one of the most important things a business leader can do?and is just as much art as science. The third in a trilogy of business strategy books written by renowned strategists and two-time Thinkers50?nominated authors Steven Goldbach and Geoff Tuff, this book explains why and how to optimally hone your organization's execution of its strategy, with highlights including: The importance of recognizing and taking action to defy the drift that often afflicts organizations undergoing massive transformationGuidelines on how to design and continually reshape effective management systems to influence organizational and individual behaviorsReframing the job of CEOs to be Chief System Designers for their organizationsReflections on how honing principles within organizations can be used on broader societal challenges such as addressing climate change via the energy transition Engaging, pragmatic, and inspiring, Hone: How Purposeful Leaders Defy Drift earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of all private, public, and nonprofit sector professionals seeking to bring new sources of advantage to their organizations in a time of accelerating uncertainty and exponential change.
