That's Not How We Do It Here!: A Story About How Organizations Rise, Fall – and Can Rise Again | |
A new business parable from John Kotter - the leading authority on leadership and change, and bestselling author of Our Iceberg is Melting
That's Not How We Do It Here is the story of a clan of meerkats who live in the Kalahari. Well organised and efficient, the colony enjoys many years of successful growth, until it suddenly comes under threat from a new form of predator and is forced to rethink its organizational structure.
John Kotter uses this charming parable to explore why organizations often struggle no matter their past success, and why they fall.
Kotter shows that by embracing reliability, efficiency, speed and agility, and building passion, discipline and personal growth, organizations can once again prosper, fulfil their mission, create great jobs and services and generate wealth.
媒体推荐This remarkable parable shows us how we re "safer" in changing times when we innovate! (Spencer Johnson, MD, author of WHO MOVED MY CHEESE?)
A meerkat falling prey to the unexpected attack of a vulture doesn't keep many leaders up at night. But the unanticipated assault of new competitor, or a fundamental shift in the operating environment, can evoke an almost paralyzing fear in the most successful organizations. This simple parable of furry mammals facing the challenge of adapting to threat offers real insights into the journey so many of us must make. Brilliant! (General Stanley McChrystal, author of TEAM OF TEAMS and co-founder of the McChrystal Group)
It works. And not just for meerkats. (Gaetan Thomas, NB Power president and CEO)
John Kotter does it again. His use of metaphor helps readers distill down to the fundamental requirements for a high-performing organization: tapping the hearts and minds of team members in service to a compelling purpose. Leadership enables this, and in doing so unlocks tremendous creativity and potential. (Leigh Morgan, COO, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation)

Thus is the most concise and comprehensive book I've read about leadership and management in fast change context.
The fable of the meerkats demonstrate that leadership and management are not a "neither ... or" . Organisations which are over managed and under led rise and fall. Equally organisations which are over led and under managed rise and fall. To succeed in question fast changing world, organisations must be both well led and well managed.
This is my take away after reading this great book from Kotter and Rathgeber.
A must read book for all managers and leaders.
I probably should have spent more time with this book, but wanted to get the big picture first. As a fan of Kotter, I like to skim for the big picture and go back for personal reflection and application. I recommend this book for groups working within groups or organizations that once were great, but doing what we always did doesn't work any longer.
This book was part of the reason that I took my current job with Kotter International. This is the sixth book that I've read by Dr. John Kotter over the past five years, and one of hundreds of business books that I've read during my career. This book will change things. The last time that I was this excited about the potential impact that a book can have on the lives of millions of people was my first time reading Crucial Conversations (Switzler et al). That's Not How We Do It Here! is a phrase that I have heard many times in my career; understandably, each time that I heard it, my passion for the organization waned. I am certain that if armed with the concepts of this book, my previous employers would realize lower employee turnover, and higher employee innovation leading to improved bottom line results. I have shared the book with many of them.
That's Not How We Do It Here! is a business fable, in the style of Our Iceberg is Melting (Kotter Rathgeber) and 5 Dysfunctions of a Team (Lencioni). Destin Sandlin said once, "Knowledge does not equal understanding" and that could not be a better explanation of why so many business books have been bought and read, and yet, many business leaders and managers fail to improve. The fable, is a great format to visualize the application of the rich and often complex concepts, providing clarity, and more importantly, understanding. I have shared this book with folks that I have worked with from all over the business spectrum (c-suite to contact center), and have found that everyone finds it both accessible and deeply engaging. One person didn't wait for me to explain what the book was about before diving in and not saying another word to me until she was 50 pages in. Her comment at that time, "Oh My God, That's US!"
The story is deeply engaging and the concepts are powerful. It doesn't follow the normal story arc of business books... Start with this (bad) go to this (good). It is much more complex than that. It touches on many elements of management and leadership that individually are all familiar no-brainers, but looking at them all together, it paints a vivid picture of why so many organizations struggle to be structured AND agile. I highly recommend this book to everyone that I meet and to everyone reading this review.
Simple. Fast read. Brilliant. Just do it. They have presented a great parable of success in the real world! Thanks.
Awesome book illustrating the difference between management and leadership
