How can you catapult your organization to high performance when time and money are scarce? Police chief Bill Bratton has pulled that off again and again. Here’s what it takes. (HBR Online, April 2003)
Reading Blue Ocean Strategy (which I still haven’t finished hanggang ngayon), I realized that authors W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne are also the authors of Tipping Point Leadership, which was a bit controversial awhile back. Some major points:
· In any organization, once the beliefs and energies of a critical mass of people are engaged, conversion to a new idea will spread like an epidemic.
· You do not need extra resource to reach the highest tipping point. Concentrate your resources where the need is and the payoffs are likely to be great.
· The good news is- tipping point leadership is learnable.
This is not new, but for me right now, it is relevant and am excited to learn it. The case features how William Bratton made successful drastic changes in NYPD. He was appointed police commissioner in 1994, amidst turf wars, high crime rates, general dissatisfaction and low morale amongst 35,000 police workers. Holler if you want a copy of the seventeen-page article.
