Getting the Right Things Done demonstrates how strategy deployment can help leaders harness the full power of Lean. Organization leaders at all levels and the management teams who are responsible for strategy deployment will find this book especially insightful. It tells the story of a fictional (yet very real) midsized company, Atlas Industries, that needs to dramatically improve to compete with emerging rivals and meet new customer demands.

I recently came across Peter Bregman’s book, that I think may hold some insights for me in my quest.18 Minutes offers “a comprehensive approach to managing a year, a day, and a moment so that our lives move forward in a way that keeps us focused on, and doing, the things we decide are most important” (Kindle Location: 53). At its essence, this approach to organizing our time and focusing our energies is based on making conscious choices on what’s most important and aligning our daily activities with our priorities.4 Ways to “Get the Right Things Done”:1.

Begin by identifying your focus for the year. Starting with a key question: What is this year about? Bregman suggests brainstorming a list of possibilities that will have the greatest impact and then whittling the list down to five (too few may not be realistic; too many more gets overwhelming). Once the five (or so) areas have been identified, he proposes that you make a commitment to spend 95 percent of your time on these things (the other five percent is for “miscellaneous”).2. Align your daily activities with your the areas of focus for the year. Each day, Bregman suggests beginning with a careful plan based on your annual focus:Carefully plan each day ahead.

Getting the Right Things Done uses a fictional company that was once very successful but now struggling. The book goes through the transformation of the company into lean techniques and processes which starts with the buy in from the management team.

Build each day’s plan based on your annual focus. Choose to selectively and strategically ignore the things that get in the way.

Use your calendar as your guide and move things off your to-do list. Look back and learn at the end of each day (Kindle Location: 1799).Spend five minutes each morning to plan your day: “Before turning on your computer, sit down with the to-do listdecide what will make this day highly successful. What can you realistically accomplish that will further your focus for the year and allow you to leave at the end of the day feeling that you’ve been productive and successful?” (Kindle Location: 1778)3. Prioritize tasks by actually scheduling them. Have you ever started the day with the goal of making progress on a project only to find that other “more important” issues grab your attention and won’t let go? I know that I have fallen into this trap. To avoid the pitfall of procrastination, he advises putting the “hardest and most important items at the beginning of the day” (Kindle Location: 1553).4. Don’t get off on the “wrong floor”. In our fast paced lives, we often fall into the trap of trying to “get things done.” We multi-task; we compulsively check our phones and e-mail; and on and on.

We often get so driven by our to-do lists that we seldom stop to ask ourselves what we’re willing to let go of — what gets in our way? Bregman calls these distractions “The Wrong Floor.”To counter this dynamic, Bregman offers the following advice: focus on what’s important and put aside those things that are not. He insists that: “To get the right things done, choosing what to ignore is as important as choosing where to focus” (Kindle Location: 1517).I plan to take inspiration from Bregman’s simple approach in the upcoming year. There is much to do and I want to make sure that I get the right things done.How do you make sure you get the right things done? Jennie, thank you for the book recommendation. As you have read, I wear many hats and becuase of this I also feel that my energies are pulled in many directions.

While all areas are worthwhile and I believe important, I am realizing that a clearer focus on a few would prove to be more beneficial.Thank you and I look forward to reading your posts and learning from them.p.s. Although I live in CT now, I am a native of California.

For a time as a young child, along time ago, I lived in Santa Rosa; I believe this is in your neck of the woods. I am originally from the Fresno Area. I must say during these exremely cold days I found myself longing for the heat of the Central Valley.

Strategy deployment, called hoshin kanri by Toyota, has proven to be the most effective process for meeting this ongoing challenge. In his new book Getting the Right Things Done, author and LEI faculty member Pascal Dennis outlines the nuts and bolts of strategy deployment, answering two tough questions that ultimately can make or break a company's lean transformation:. What kind of planning system is required to inspire meaningful company-wide continuous improvement?. How might we change existing mental models that do not support a culture of continuous improvement? Getting the Right Things Done demonstrates how strategy deployment can help leaders harness the full power of Lean.

Organization leaders at all levels and the management teams who are responsible for strategy deployment will find this book especially insightful. It tells the story of a fictional (yet very real) midsized company, Atlas Industries that needs to dramatically improve to compete with emerging rivals and meet new customer demands. Getting the Right Things Done chronicles the journey of the company and its President/COO, an experienced lean leader who was hired five years ago to steer Atlas in the right direction. While Atlas had already applied some basic lean principles, it had not really connected the people and business processes so that the company could dramatically improve.

Atlas' challenge: 'Something was missing: a way of focusing and aligning the efforts of good people, and a delivery system, something that would direct the tools to the right places.' Enter strategy deployment. The book is designed to provide readers with a framework for understanding the key components of strategy deployment: agreeing on the company's 'True North,' working within the PDCA cycle, getting conse.

Drucker’s timeless classic work on leadership and management, with a foreword by Jim Collins. What makes an effective executive?

For decades, Peter F. Drucker was widely regarded as 'the dean of this country’s business and management philosophers' (Wall Street Journal). In this concise and brilliant work, he looks to the most influential position in management—the executive. The measure of the executive, Drucker reminds us, is the ability to 'get the right things done.'

This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive. Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that mold them into results. Drucker identifies five practices essential to business effectiveness that can—and must—be mastered: Managing time; Choosing what to contribute to the organization; Knowing where and how to mobilize strength for best effect; Setting the right priorities; Knitting all of them together with effective decision-making Ranging across the annals of business and government, Drucker demonstrates the distinctive skill of the executive and offers fresh insights into old and seemingly obvious business situations.
