Results - Getting Beyond...

Charlie Baker, Steve Kadish

Governor Charlie Baker, one of the most popular governors in the United States, with a reputation for getting things done, wants to put the service back into public service: "Wedge issues may be great for making headlines," he writes, "but they do not move us forward. Success is measured by what we accomplish together. Our obligation to the people we serve is too important to place politics and partisanship before progress and results." 
 
 
 
For the Governor and his longtime associate Steve Kadish, these words are much more than political platitudes. They are at the heart of a method for delivering results—and getting past politics—the two developed while working together in top leadership positions in the public and private sectors. 
 
 
 
Distilled into a four-step framework, Results is the much-needed implementation guide for anyone in public service, as well as for leaders and managers in large organizations hamstrung by bureaucracy and politics. With a broad range of examples, Baker, a Republican, and Kadish, a Democrat, show how to move from identifying problems to achieving results in a way that bridges divides instead of exacerbating them. They show how government can be an engine of positive change and an example of effective operation, not just a hopeless bureaucracy.

Why Businesses Fail? S01E05

Amar Deshpande

The One Trick Pony Or, How Lack of Product Development and Innovation can lead to business failure

If we scan the pages of business history, we will find many organizations that once dominated the market segments they operated in. But over time, they simply faded away. The reason in most cases was lack of innovation or ability to adapt to changing market conditions.

Focus on a single product or a service is not a bad way of doing business. In high precision industries such as medicine, optics as well as technology services, there are many great organizations who excel at doing one thing, and one thing right. But reliance on a single product over a long period can prove detrimental to the business.   The title of this episode is derived from a popular term in the United States - a One Trick Pony. The term draws from the era when entertainers in circuses or fairs used to display a variety of tricks to wow the audience. Out of a quiver full of tricks, one or two used to wow the audience, and they used to keep coming back for more. But what if there was a show horse or a Pony who could perform only one trick? The Audience might visit the Act once, maybe twice. But that would pretty much be it.
 We use this term in this episode to describe a company that depends on a single product or service for its survival. Listen to this episode of Why Businesses Fail to get a deeper perspective on this topic.
