Managing your organization by the evidence
Executives, in their search for ways to make organizations function more successfully, frequently adopt simplistic solutions.A new analysis of more than 230 global businesses shows that combinations of carefully selected actions can be far more effective than one-dimensional interventions.Although organizations tend to perform better when they use specific practices to make employees accountable, to set goals and priorities, and to establish a performance culture, they achieve the best results by undertaking all three simultaneously.Companies with a lot of organizational baggage—the legacy, perhaps, of a strong culture or leadership style—may need to modify this "base case."
