Who Killed Nokia
Nokia executives attempted to explain its fall from the top of the smartphone pyramid with three factors(1)that Nokia was technically inferior to Apple(2)that the company was complacent and(3)that its leaders didn’t see the disruptive iPhone coming
It has also been argued that it was none of the aboveNokia lost the smartphone battle because of divergent shared fears among the company’s middle and top managers which led to companywide inertia that left it powerless to respond to Apple’s game
Based on the findings of an indepth investigation and 76 interviews with top and middle managersengineers and external expertsthe researchers discovered a culture of fear due to temperamental leaders and that frightened middle managers were scared of telling the truth
The fear that froze the company came from two placesFirstthe company’s top managers had a terrifying reputationSome members of Nokia’s board and top management were described as extremely temperamental and they regularly shouted at people at the top of their lungsIt was very difficult to tell them things they didn’t want to hearSecondlytop managers were afraid of the external environment and not meeting their quarterly targetswhich also impacted how they treated middle managers
Top managers thus made middle managers afraid of disappointing themMiddle managers were told that they were not ambitious enough to meet top managers’ goals
Fearing the reactions of top managersmiddle managers remained silent or provided optimisticfiltered informationThusmiddle managers directly lied to top management
Worsea culture of status inside Nokia made everyone want to hold onto vested power for fear of resources being allocated elsewhere if they delivered bad news or showed that they were not bold or ambitious enough to undertake challenging assignments
Beyond verbal pressuretop managers also applied pressure for faster performance in personnel selectionThis led middle managers to over promise and under deliverOne middle manager told us that you can get resources by promising something earlieror promising a lotIt’s sales work
While modest fear might be healthy for motivationabusing it can be like overusing a drugwhich risks generating harmful side effectsTo reduce this riskleaders should coordinate with the varied emotions of the staffNokia’s top managers should have encouraged safe dialogueinternal coordination and feedback to understand the true emotion in the organization
操作提示正确选T错误选F
1Nokia lost the smartphone battle because its technology is not as good as that of Apple[答案]F
2Nokia’s middle managers were frank to tell the truthbut the top ones didn’t listen to them[答案]F
3Nokia’s top managers were too moody to hear anything good but harsh[答案]T
4Middle managers in Nokia delivered results more than they promised earlier[答案]F
5Nokia’s top managers should have had better conversation techniques to encourage internal coordination and truth[答案]T

Communication Failure
The meaning of communication goes a lot deeper than people often thinkCommunication is about conceivingsendingreceivingand interpreting messages as well as confirming reception of these messagesA failure at any point in this chain can result in ineffective communication
Ineffective communication can be disastrousThere is a famous story of a British Army Commander who sent the message Send reinforcementswe’re going to advance back to his Command Centerthrough a long chain of subordinatesWhen the message finally reached the Command Centerit had mutated to becomeSend three and fourpencewe’re going to a dance The reinforcements never arrived
You can demonstrate this same principlealbeit on a less dramatic scaleby trying to play Chinese Whispers with more than 20 peopleIt is highly unlikely the same message you started with will be the one you end with
In a businessthere are three main types of communication failureEach has its own indicative signs
The first type is known as allocative failureThis occurs when a firm is not gathering enough intelligence about its market or(most often)the information is not reaching the right pointsThe firm will not be allocating resources in step with the shifts in demandIf demand is rising but the firm is suffering from allocative communication failurethen stocks will fall and there will be under staffingIf the inverse happensthere will be a surplus of stocks and over staffing
The second type is executive failurewhere communication to trigger specific eventsactions is either latelacking or in errorThe symptoms of this are a general loss of direction in the company or departmentsa loss of coordination and an increase in complaints from customers as things happen late or not at all
The final type is human failureThis occurs when the general culture of a business or the relationships between particular individuals or departments do not foster effective communicationThis leads to alienated staffan increase in staff turnoveran increase in absenteeism and general frustration among staffCreativityespecially that which takes place across departmental boundariesis likely to suffer hugely as team synergy slips

4Allocative failure does NOT happen when________Athe right information goes to the right place

A Teamwork Game

Tips for Team Building
When you think of team buildingdo you immediately picture your group off at a resort playing games or hanging from ropes Traditionallymany organizations approach team building in this way butthenthey wonder why that wonderful sense of teamwork that had been displayed at the retreat or the seminar fails to impact long term beliefs and actions back at work
I’m not averse to retreatsplanning sessionsseminars and team building activitiesin fact I lead thembut they have to form part of a much larger teamwork effortYou will not build teamwork by retreating as a group for a couple of days each yearinstead you need to think of team building as something you do every single day
Form teams to solve real work issues and to improve real work processesProvide training in systematic methods so the team expends its energy on the projectnot on trying to work out how to work together as a team to approach the problem
Hold department meetings to review projects and progressto obtain broad inputand to coordinate shared work processesIf there is friction between team membersexamine the work processes they mutually ownthe problem is not usually their personalitiesinsteadit is often the fact that the team members haven’t agreed on how they will deliver a product or serviceor the steps required to get something done
Build fun and shared occasions into the organization’s agendahold pot luck lunchestake the team to a sporting eventsponsor dinners at a local restaurantgo hiking or go to an amusement parkHold a monthly company meetingsponsor sports teams and encourage cheering team fans
Use ice breakers and teamwork exercises at meetingsthese help team members get to know each othershare details about each others livesand have a laugh together
Celebrate team successes publiclyThere are many ways you could do thisfor instance by buying everyone the same Tshirt or hatputting team member names in a draw for company merchandise and gift certificatesThe only thing limiting you is your imagination
If you do the types of teamwork building listed aboveyou’ll be amazed at the progress you will make in creating a teamwork culturea culture that enables individuals to contribute more than they ever thought possibletogether

1Team building event is traditionally related to playing games at resort[答案]T
2The author claims that playing games together is as important as form teams to solve real work issues and to improve real work processes for team building[答案]F

The Right Way to Motivate Employees
It’s important for a CEO to be passionate and enthusiasticbut there’s a line of professionalism that must always be maintained
According to a report from the technology website Venture BeatPayPal CEO David Marcus wrote a critical letter to his employees blaming them for not using PayPal products and encouraging them to leave if they didn’t have the passion to use the products they work for
According to the websitepart of the leaked letter reads
It’s been brought to my attention that when testing paying with mobile at Cafe 17 last weeksome of you refused to install the PayPal appand others didn’t even remember their PayPal passwordsThat’s unacceptable to meand the rest of my teameveryone at PayPal should use our products where availableThat’s the only way we can make them betterand better
In closingif you are one of the folks who refused to install the PayPal app or if you can’t remember your PayPal passworddo yourself a favorgo and find something that will connect with your heart and mind elsewhere
While not obvious at firstthe letter reveals a problem of morale and culture at PayPalAs an executiveyou certainly want your employees to use and promote your productsHoweverwhen faced with a situation where staff isn’t embracing what they makeyou need to investigate the root of the problemnot threaten
When faced with internal problemsgood executives start by asking whyThey reach out to their executive team first and then to the entire staff to find the root of a problem and how to fix itSending out a onesided note about the problem is not leadingit’s retreating
Leadership starts by listeningGood executives need to get out among the staff and ask questions and listen without judgment or reactionThe fact that company employees are not embracing and using its products is a failure of leadership that Marcus needs to address by selfreflectionAt the end of the dayif his employees have to be forced to use the apphow can he expect consumers to want to willingly pay to use it Marcus should have focused on three questions
Why are you not using the app
What is it that we can do to ensure you use our app
What do you need from me

1A CEO only needs to be passionate and enthusiastic[答案]F
2It is not professional that PayPal CEO blames his employees not to use PayPal or forget PayPal passwords[答案]T
3A onesided note refers to the root of PayPal’s problem[答案]F

How Google Continues to Keep Employees Happy
Working for Google is a dream of manynot just because of what this company has achieved in the last 15 yearsbut because of its enviable work cultureWith about 37000 employees in 40 countriesyou might wonder how Google maintains a motivating work experience throughout its entire company
Working for Google comes with perks that most other organizations can’t providebowling alleysfree haircutsgym membershipsand shuttles to and from workThe company’s secret to success is putting the same amount of time and effort into keeping employees happy as it does into innovating products

It’s less about the aspiration to be No1 in the worldand more that we want our employees and future ones to love it herebecause that’s what’s going to make us successfulsaid Karen Maythe Vice President of people development at Google
Google also makes its employees want to work because managers provide tasks that are inspiring and challengingEvery employee at Google has the opportunity to spend 20 of his or her working time on a project they chooseThis freedom takes employees out of their routine and away from the mundane tasks that often make workers feel uninspired about their jobs
LastlyGoogle shows each employee just how important he or she is to the companyEach employeeregardless of her spot on the totem polehas an influence on how Google performs
If you value peopleand care about them as whole peopleone thing you do is giving them a voiceand you really listenMay said
Google does just that by hosting employee forums every Fridaywhere they discuss the 20 mostasked questionsEmployees have access to all company informationadding a sense of trustand employees and leaders work together to solve problems

Vision and Execution Two Sides of a Successful Strategy
A strategic plan is not the end goal of the strategic planning processit is the framework for successfully implementing a strategyUntil a strategic plan is put into effectit has no real value
There are several keys to successful implementationFirstpeople directly involved in executing the strategy must be included in the planning processStrategic planning is no longer a topdown directiveWithout the input and feedback of the people responsible for executing on the strategya seemingly solid strategy is likely to fall apart when implementation is attempted
The next key to successful implementation is clearly communicating the strategy to the whole companyThe communication should ensure that everyone in the company understands and accepts the strategy as the best path forwardand not simply the leadership’s latest ideaWithout clear communicationemployees lack a sense of ownership and clarity of purposeWhen a strategy is not understood or embracedit usually results in misunderstanding and uneven commitments to implementation
Another key to the successful execution of a strategic plan is the clear and straightforward description of the plan and its operationsEven the most brilliant strategy faces failure if it cannot be explained clearly and concisely

Who Killed Nokia
Nokia executives attempted to explain its fall from the top of the smartphone pyramid with three factors(1)that Nokia was technically inferior to Apple(2)that the company was complacent and(3)that its leaders didn’t see the disruptive iPhone coming
It has also been argued that it was none of the aboveNokia lost the smartphone battle because of divergent shared fears among the company’s middle and top managers which led to companywide inertia that left it powerless to respond to Apple’s game
Based on the findings of an indepth investigation and 76 interviews with top and middle managersengineers and external expertsthe researchers discovered a culture of fear due to temperamental leaders and that frightened middle managers were scared of telling the truth
The fear that froze the company came from two placesFirstthe company’s top managers had a terrifying reputationSome members of Nokia’s board and top management were described as extremely temperamental and they regularly shouted at people at the top of their lungsIt was very difficult to tell them things they didn’t want to hearSecondlytop managers were afraid of the external environment and not meeting their quarterly targetswhich also impacted how they treated middle managers
Top managers thus made middle managers afraid of disappointing themMiddle managers were told that they were not ambitious enough to meet top managers’ goals
Fearing the reactions of top managersmiddle managers remained silent or provided optimisticfiltered informationThusmiddle managers directly lied to top management
Worsea culture of status inside Nokia made everyone want to hold onto vested power for fear of resources being allocated elsewhere if they delivered bad news or showed that they were not bold or ambitious enough to undertake challenging assignments
Beyond verbal pressuretop managers also applied pressure for faster performance in personnel selectionThis led middle managers to over promise and under deliverOne middle manager told us that you can get resources by promising something earlieror promising a lotIt’s sales work
While modest fear might be healthy for motivationabusing it can be like overusing a drugwhich risks generating harmful side effectsTo reduce this riskleaders should coordinate with the varied emotions of the staffNokia’s top managers should have encouraged safe dialogueinternal coordination and feedback to understand the true emotion in the organization
操作提示正确选T错误选F
1Nokia lost the smartphone battle because its technology is not as good as that of Apple[答案]F
2Nokia’s middle managers were frank to tell the truthbut the top ones didn’t listen to them[答案]F
3Nokia’s top managers were too moody to hear anything good but harsh[答案]T
4Middle managers in Nokia delivered results more than they promised earlier[答案]F
5Nokia’s top managers should have had better conversation techniques to encourage internal coordination and truth[答案]T

Communication Failure
The meaning of communication goes a lot deeper than people often thinkCommunication is about conceivingsendingreceivingand interpreting messages as well as confirming reception of these messagesA failure at any point in this chain can result in ineffective communication
Ineffective communication can be disastrousThere is a famous story of a British Army Commander who sent the message Send reinforcementswe’re going to advance back to his Command Centerthrough a long chain of subordinatesWhen the message finally reached the Command Centerit had mutated to becomeSend three and fourpencewe’re going to a dance The reinforcements never arrived
You can demonstrate this same principlealbeit on a less dramatic scaleby trying to play Chinese Whispers with more than 20 peopleIt is highly unlikely the same message you started with will be the one you end with
In a businessthere are three main types of communication failureEach has its own indicative signs
The first type is known as allocative failureThis occurs when a firm is not gathering enough intelligence about its market or(most often)the information is not reaching the right pointsThe firm will not be allocating resources in step with the shifts in demandIf demand is rising but the firm is suffering from allocative communication failurethen stocks will fall and there will be under staffingIf the inverse happensthere will be a surplus of stocks and over staffing
The second type is executive failurewhere communication to trigger specific eventsactions is either latelacking or in errorThe symptoms of this are a general loss of direction in the company or departmentsa loss of coordination and an increase in complaints from customers as things happen late or not at all
The final type is human failureThis occurs when the general culture of a business or the relationships between particular individuals or departments do not foster effective communicationThis leads to alienated staffan increase in staff turnoveran increase in absenteeism and general frustration among staffCreativityespecially that which takes place across departmental boundariesis likely to suffer hugely as team synergy slips

Although they were given a second chance if their first balloon poppedthey were out of the game the second time roundIn the endabout 30 team members wrote their names without their balloons poppingThey were then asked to leave the room andafter five minutesthe team leader brought them back in and asked them to find the balloon with their name on it amongst the hundreds of other balloons in the roomAfter 15 minutes of searchingno one had found their balloonand the team were told that they were then going to move on to the third round of the activity
In this roundeach team member was instructed to find any balloon with a name on it and then give that balloon to the person whose name was on itWithin two minuteseverybody had their own balloonThe team leader summarized the activity thus We are much more efficient when we are willing to share with each other and much better at problem solving when we are working togethernot individually
Sometimesmembers of teams create obstacles by focusing solely on their own pursuits and goalsEvery member of the team should ask themselves on a regular basis what they are doing and what they can do for the team

Tips for Team Building
When you think of team buildingdo you immediately picture your group off at a resort playing games or hanging from ropes Traditionallymany organizations approach team building in this way butthenthey wonder why that wonderful sense of teamwork that had been displayed at the retreat or the seminar fails to impact long term beliefs and actions back at work
I’m not averse to retreatsplanning sessionsseminars and team building activitiesin fact I lead thembut they have to form part of a much larger teamwork effortYou will not build teamwork by retreating as a group for a couple of days each yearinstead you need to think of team building as something you do every single day
Form teams to solve real work issues and to improve real work processesProvide training in systematic methods so the team expends its energy on the projectnot on trying to work out how to work together as a team to approach the problem
Hold department meetings to review projects and progressto obtain broad inputand to coordinate shared work processesIf there is friction between team membersexamine the work processes they mutually ownthe problem is not usually their personalitiesinsteadit is often the fact that the team members haven’t agreed on how they will deliver a product or serviceor the steps required to get something done
Build fun and shared occasions into the organization’s agendahold pot luck lunchestake the team to a sporting eventsponsor dinners at a local restaurantgo hiking or go to an amusement parkHold a monthly company meetingsponsor sports teams and encourage cheering team fans
Use ice breakers and teamwork exercises at meetingsthese help team members get to know each othershare details about each others livesand have a laugh together
Celebrate team successes publiclyThere are many ways you could do thisfor instance by buying everyone the same Tshirt or hatputting team member names in a draw for company merchandise and gift certificatesThe only thing limiting you is your imagination
If you do the types of teamwork building listed aboveyou’ll be amazed at the progress you will make in creating a teamwork culturea culture that enables individuals to contribute more than they ever thought possibletogether

In closingif you are one of the folks who refused to install the PayPal app or if you can’t remember your PayPal passworddo yourself a favorgo and find something that will connect with your heart and mind elsewhere
While not obvious at firstthe letter reveals a problem of morale and culture at PayPalAs an executiveyou certainly want your employees to use and promote your productsHoweverwhen faced with a situation where staff isn’t embracing what they makeyou need to investigate the root of the problemnot threaten
When faced with internal problemsgood executives start by asking whyThey reach out to their executive team first and then to the entire staff to find the root of a problem and how to fix itSending out a onesided note about the problem is not leadingit’s retreating
Leadership starts by listeningGood executives need to get out among the staff and ask questions and listen without judgment or reactionThe fact that company employees are not embracing and using its products is a failure of leadership that Marcus needs to address by selfreflectionAt the end of the dayif his employees have to be forced to use the apphow can he expect consumers to want to willingly pay to use it Marcus should have focused on three questions
Why are you not using the app
What is it that we can do to ensure you use our app
What do you need from me

LastlyGoogle shows each employee just how important he or she is to the companyEach employeeregardless of her spot on the totem polehas an influence on how Google performs
If you value peopleand care about them as whole peopleone thing you do is giving them a voiceand you really listenMay said
Google does just that by hosting employee forums every Fridaywhere they discuss the 20 mostasked questionsEmployees have access to all company informationadding a sense of trustand employees and leaders work together to solve problems

A strategic plan is not the end goal of the strategic planning processit is the framework for successfully implementing a strategyUntil a strategic plan is put into effectit has no real value
There are several keys to successful implementationFirstpeople directly involved in executing the strategy must be included in the planning processStrategic planning is no longer a topdown directiveWithout the input and feedback of the people responsible for executing on the strategya seemingly solid strategy is likely to fall apart when implementation is attempted
The next key to successful implementation is clearly communicating the strategy to the whole companyThe communication should ensure that everyone in the company understands and accepts the strategy as the best path forwardand not simply the leadership’s latest ideaWithout clear communicationemployees lack a sense of ownership and clarity of purposeWhen a strategy is not understood or embracedit usually results in misunderstanding and uneven commitments to implementation
Another key to the successful execution of a strategic plan is the clear and straightforward description of the plan and its operationsEven the most brilliant strategy faces failure if it cannot be explained clearly and concisely
