This work offers a summary of the book «A BIAS FOR ACTION: How Effective Managers Harness Their Willpower, Achieve Results, and Stop Wasting Time» by Heike Bruch and Sumantra Ghoshal.
Heike Bruch is a human resources professor at the University of St. Gallen (Switzerland). Dr. Bruch's research focuses on leadership and she has written six books as well as publishing more than forty articles in journals and books.
Sumantra Ghoshal is a fellow of the Advanced Institute of Management Research as well as a professor of strategy and international management at London Business School.
In A Bias For Action, Bruch and Ghoshal argue that great managers and effective business leaders have an inbuilt bias for action. They don't dissipate their time and energy on peripheral issues. Instead, good managers get to work purposefully on the organization's most important work and get things done. Good managers harness willpower to improve both their individual performance and that of the organizations they manage. In essence, great managers stop trying to do more things and instead focus on getting the right things done.
Full of advice, A Bias For Action is a useful book for managers as it shows them how to become a purposeful action taker.
