A Recipe for Corporate Success

About the Book

Ken Rogers and Errol Chadwick draw on their decades of experience as executive managers, and as consultants to large corporations in this guide to achieving enduring corporate success. Drawing on their experience with the executives of hundreds of companies across multiple continents, they conclude that with rare exceptions, corporations tend to preserve the status quo – even when it is manifestly not working. But by following the recipe in this guide, corporate leaders will be able to: self audit their corporation’s capability to continuously succeed; bolster corporate strategic planning; promote financial discipline throughout the organization; navigate human resources and performance management; motivate employees to succeed; maintain an enviable corporate climate. The recipe they share—once implemented—will enable a corporation to avoid significant non-productive costs, judicial penalties, and reputational damage. It allows a corporation to remain relevant, cost effective, and operationally efficient. Whether you’re a top executive or aspiring to serve in that role, the recipe outlined in this guide will help and direct you toward achieving synergies, accomplish corporate objectives, and drive value, and regularly record and report on progress.
