Recommendation

Management consultants Peter Sheahan and Julie Williamson report on intensive research they conducted with the leaders of major global corporations to discover how to build companies that “matter.” They learned that successful executives need the courage to challenge tradition, the optimism to envision opportunity amid change and the curiosity to explore uncharted territory. These leaders’ cutting-edge knowledge and flexibility at “the edge of disruption” give them an “elevated perspective” on the market. Their deep connections result in fruitful, “elevated relationships” and their value-based work earns an “elevated impact.” getAbstract recommends this in-depth report to current or future chief executives, leaders and entrepreneurs who want to shape significant organizations. The authors’ excellent case studies, analysis, tips and exercises make it clear that a company that matters delivers deep value to its clients and its community. Here’s how to start building yours.

Take-Aways

  • The “matter model” is made of three intersecting circles: “elevated perspective, elevated relationships and elevated impact.”
  • The “edge of disruption,” which leads to an elevated perspective, marks the collision of new and old technologies and strategies.
  • Disruption changes customer behavior and gives your organization opportunities to blend tradition with innovation, thus adding value to your product or service.
