LinkedIn、Zappos等頂尖企業執行長暢談如何打造積極創新的企業文化。
面對充滿挑戰的全球經濟與創新需求,許多企業逐漸出現疲態,龐大的組織與官僚系統無法跟上瞬息萬變的市場,整體欲振乏力。在上位者究竟該如何做,才能建設高績效的組織,同時釋放出員工的熱情與能量呢?
《紐約時報》新聞編輯亞當.布萊恩找來商務社群網站LinkedIn的Jeff Weiner、全球最大網路鞋店Zappos的謝家華與美國消費者評論網站Angie’s List的Angie Hicks等兩百位CEO,請他們根據自己的成功經驗分享提高組織行動效率、鼓勵創新文化,甚至是讓員工重拾工作熱情的領導方式。
經過整理分析的訪談文章陸續刊登於布萊恩在《紐約時報》的「角落辦公室」(Corner Office)專欄,引發讀者熱烈迴響。現在他將專欄彙整成新書《Quick and Nimble》,與世人共同分享這些寶貴的實戰智慧與領導哲學,期許能啟發更多管理者營造更好的工作環境,提升創新競爭力。
In Quick and Nimble, Adam Bryant draws on interviews with more than two hundred CEOs to offer business leaders the wisdom and guidance to move an organization faster, to be quick and nimble, and to rekindle the whatever-it-takes collective spark of a start-up workplace, all with the goal of innovating and thriving in a relentlessly challenging global economy. By analyzing the lessons that these leaders have shared in his regular “Corner Office” feature in The New York Times, Bryant has identified the biggest drivers of corporate culture, bringing them to life with real-world examples that reflect this hard-earned wisdom. These men and women—whose ranks include Jeff Weiner of LinkedIn, Tony Hsieh of Zappos, Angie Hicks of Angie’s List, Steve Case of Revolution (and formerly AOL), and Amy Gutmann of the University of Pennsylvania—offer useful insights and strategies for creating a corporate culture of innovation and building a high-performing organization that unleashes the passion and energy of its employees. As the world shifts to more of a knowledge economy, the winners will be companies that can attract and retain the best and brightest employees by creating an environment where they can grow, contribute, and feel rewarded. Through the wisdom of these leading chief executives, Quick and Nimble offers a keen understanding of leadership, recruiting, and the forces that shape corporate culture and a clear road map to bring success and energy to any organization.
