Summary

The idea for this book was sparked when the authors realised that, in South Africa, most people are disadvantaged when it comes to entering and succeeding within corporate organisations. There, “Old boy” networks still offer a privileged minority a significant advantage. This led to the authors seeking change for those disadvantaged around the world. This book offers some high-level guidance on how to think about setting goals to be successful despite the disadvantages you may face in the corporate world. Featuring interviews from young minorities who have had very successful corporate careers, the book tries to understand what guided them to their success. The book also presents a way to a systemic structure which can help navigate the complexity young people face when they are considering career options. The book offers a framework for ethical decision making in corporate settings, and some tips on how to survive this journey and to avoid potential burn-out.

    Results - Getting Beyond...

    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.
