It Comes Down to This

<b> A Common Sense Field Guide to Leadership Management and Getting from Here to There</b><br><br> In this book we leave behind the esoteric discussions of management theory and focus on the reality of successful organizational management. This book is about managing to success. Note the use of the words <em>/to success</em> rather than <em>/for success</em>. The change of this single tiny preposition is the basis of much of what you will read. In these pages you will find in order to succeed in a deliberate and intentional way you not only must do the right thing (often called managing for success) you must also tie those actions to your Definition of Success. You must create line-of-sight from your activities to your desired outcomes. <br><br><b> The Three Elements </b><br><br>There are three elements required to achieve success in a deliberate fashion rather than by luck or happenstance: leadership management and the nuts and bolts of operations and change. Understanding and mastering these elements gives you the ability to control your present and achieve your desired future. <br><br><b> The Book </b><br><br>The book is divided into three major sections: Leadership Management and Getting from Here to There. The first section focuses on the characteristics capabilities and behaviors of successful leaders. The second section discusses the mechanics and imperatives of managing an organization. The third section is about the methods of visioning planning and executing the change and growth necessary for healthy long-lived organizations. Although the topics are roughly divided into the three major areas as in real life there is no bright line between these facets of a successful organization. This field guide helps you understand them and use them holistically. <br><br><em>/It Comes Down to This</em> is your guide to successfully leading an organization.
