How to Cut Through Complexity in Your Organization and Get Things Done


Simplicity Is Better

by David Meyer

Ron Ashkenas believes simplicity improves results and leads to competitive advantages – and he shows you how to achieve it.

Renowned business author Ron Ashkenas shows you how to simplify your business by detailing how companies both create and excise dreaded complexity. Ashkenas shows managers many effective ways to buck up and fix their own bad habits. His diagnostic tools will help those who want to start productive dialogues in pursuit of simplicity.  You can readily convert Ashkenas’ suggestions about what managers should or shouldn’t do into a developmental continuum you can use to measure your firm’s progress toward simplification.

The Complexity Trap

Whether you are the CEO of a large multinational corporation or a middle manager at a small firm, you cannot afford to allow complexity into your organization. Complexity compromises results, hampers employees and confuses customers. Complexity often develops due to leaders’ behaviors and aspirations, so executives must work strategically to undo it.
