Much of our business thinking is shaped by delusions -- errors of logic and flawed judgments that distort our understanding of the real reasons for a company's performance. In a brilliant and unconventional book, Phil Rosenzweig unmasks the delusions that are commonly found in the corporate world. These delusions affect the business press and academic research, as well as many bestselling books that promise to reveal the secrets of success or the path to greatness. Such books claim to be based on rigorous thinking, but operate mainly at the level of storytelling. They provide comfort and inspiration, but deceive managers about the true nature of business success.
The most pervasive delusion is the Halo Effect. When a company's sales and profits are up, people often conclude that it has a brilliant strategy, a visionary leader, capable employees, and a superb corporate culture. When performance falters, they conclude that the strategy was wrong, the leader became arrogant, the people were complacent, and the culture was stagnant. In fact, little may have changed -- company performance creates a Halo that shapes the way we perceive strategy, leadership, people, culture, and more.
Drawing on examples from leading companies including Cisco Systems, IBM, Nokia, and ABB, Rosenzweig shows how the Halo Effect is widespread, undermining the usefulness of business bestsellers from In Search of Excellence to Built to Last and Good to Great.
Rosenzweig identifies nine popular business delusions. Among them:
The Delusion of Absolute Performance: Company performance is relative to competition, not absolute, which is why following a formula can never guarantee results. Success comes from doing things better than rivals, which means that managers have to take risks.
The Delusion of Rigorous Research: Many bestselling authors praise themselves for the vast amount of data they have gathered, but forget that if the data aren't valid, it doesn't matter how much was gathered or how sophisticated the research methods appear to be. They trick the reader by substituting sizzle for substance.
The Delusion of Single Explanations: Many studies show that a particular factor, such as corporate culture or social responsibility or customer focus, leads to improved performance. But since many of these factors are highly correlated, the effect of each one is usually less than suggested.
In what promises to be a landmark book, The Halo Effect replaces mistaken thinking with a sharper understanding of what drives business success and failure. The Halo Effect is a guide for the thinking manager, a way to detect errors in business research and to reach a clearer understanding of what drives business success and failure.
Skeptical, brilliant, iconoclastic, and mercifully free of business jargon, Rosenzweig's book is nevertheless dead serious, making his arguments about important issues in an unsparing and direct way that will appeal to a broad business audience. For managers who want to separate fact from fiction in the world of business, The Halo Effect is essential reading -- witty, often funny, and sharply argued, it's an antidote to so much of the conventional thinking that clutters business bookshelves.
这个书,戳穿了很多管理巫师的呼风唤雨的惑众巫术,把真正的理性商业思考之砖抛出,能不能引到玉,要靠诸位自己努力。 思考是世界上最艰苦的时期,所以很多人宁愿浑浑噩噩。人云亦云。 巫师们,该退休啦!!
评分我觉得一本好书不是告诉你应该怎么做,而是动摇了你内心的成见,给了你看到其他风景的可能性。 鸡血文太多,不读书难,想读好书更难。人总是适应不了瞬息万变的领域,总是企图在其中找到一把能衡量全盘的标尺,这也是为什么有人要是提出一个放之四海皆准的理论后大多会大受欢迎...
评分佛说“无常”,很多很多书尝试找出成功的定式。 追求卓越 基业长青 从优秀到卓越 是这尝试找出成功定式的代表 而这本书告诉我,未来无常,成功也是无常的。
评分Outline & Pearls 什么叫光环效应: 1. 以大概映像为基础判断某一具体特征的趋向。 2. 心理上创造并保持一幅连贯统一图景的方式,并借此降低认知失调 商业与科学 科学就是:如果……,那么……。商业里可以这样吗? 假象们: 1. 光环效应 - 数据失真 2. 因果关系 - 看似关联...

popular business reading - 读最后两页就能get到主要建议了,作者最后自己的input太thin
评分1. The Halo Effect。 2. 我们的一切努力都不可能保证成功,而只能提高成功的概率。失败是不可避免的事情。 【这书有点啰嗦。】
评分说的很透彻,几个delusion也很好,但感觉叙事确实有点问题
评分Everyone loves reasoning, even a lame one, that's where halo effect comes from.
