Título: Can Two Rights Make A Wrong?: Insights from IBM's Tangible Culture Approach
Autor: Sara Moulton J. Reger, Sara J. Moulton Reger
Sinopse: This is the book for people who never get past page two of a management bookit is as close as the genre comes to being a compulsive page turner. Its main thesis is built on at least three big ideas that are individually persuasive and cumulatively compelling. They naturally fit into an alignment tool that is applied to the range of day-to-day and exceptional challenges all enterprises face, including the Holy Grail of transformational change.
Donald Macrae, general counsel and chief knowledge officer, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, England
Having been in the business of cultural transformation and alignment for many years, Ive carefully looked for a thoughtful strategy and an intentional approach to bringing about healthy and thriving cultures. Can Two Rights Make a Wrong? is simply the bestit is the most thoughtful and practical work Ive seen in this growing and critical area. This is a must buy!
Dr. Ron Jenson, Future Achievement International, international author, speaker, and consulting and executive coach
Can Two Rights Make a Wrong? is a superb account of how to manage the soft side of mergers and acquisitions, but it has great value for managing many other new business practices as well, such as Open Innovation. It provides a powerful, practical method to identify conflicts, develop alignment, and achieve effective coordination between two parties that would be tremendously helpful in a variety of collaborative contexts, such as alliances, research partnerships, or joint ventures. Moulton Reger and her colleagues at IBM should be congratulated for a thoughtful, insightful book.
Henry Chesbrough, professor at University of California Berkeleys Haas School of Business, author of Open Innovation
Numbers are neat and clean. Human beings are often messy and complex. If everyone in your organization knew what to do and when, how, where, andmost importantlywhy to do it, how would your organizational culture be defined? The authors of Can Two Rights Make a Wrong? have introduced new ways to proactively address culture and, most importantly, tie it to bottom-line benefits.
James H. Amos, Jr., chairman emeritus, MBE/The UPS Store This book is a must read for leaders hoping to change their organizations culture as well as those attempting to merge firms with uniquely different cultures. Moulton Regers insights are grounded in theory and real-world experience. In this unique book, culture change is a complex concept broken down into bite-sized pieces and presented in a way that any leadership team can embrace at its own pace.
Merrill J. Oster, author of Vision Driven Leadership, founder Oster Communications, Inc.
Here at last is a business book that takes culture seriously and isnt intimidated by it. The method described can be used with practically any type of business problem in any industry, and the book does an excellent job of drawing on research and theory while keeping the focus practical. The three elements of Outcome Narratives, Right vs. Right, and Business Practices are significant ideas in their own righteach is a unique insight. All three ideas have been around in various guises for several years, but have not been as well crystallized or as focused on complex business problems as they are in this book. The authors achievement is extraordinary and goes a long way toward making the juicy idea of culture something to be built on and worked with.
