Doing What Matters 下载 mobi 免费 pdf 百度网盘 epub 2025 在线 电子书

When Warren Buffett was asked why the Gillette board of directors chose Jim Kilts to be CEO, he said, “Jim made as much sense in terms of talking about business as anybody I’ve ever talked to. If you listen to Jim analyze a business situation you get absolutely no baloney. And, frankly, finding someone like that is a rarity.”

There is only one CEO in recent times who has faced—and succeeded at—the extraordinary challenges of leading three major companies—Gillette, Nabisco, and Kraft—into prosperous futures by doing what matters on the fundamentals.

That CEO is Jim Kilts. In this vivid first-person account he reveals his system for success that is both cutting-edge and back-to-basics. Doing What Matters —the action plan for identifying and tackling what’s important and ignoring the rest—is the key to winning in a warp-speed world where the need for revolutionary speed and decisiveness increases by the day.

Kilts illustrates his ideas with colorful stories, such as “that little red razor.” A new product idea he proposed early on at Gillette, it was initially shelved because “everyone knew you couldn’t sell a red razor,” but went on to become one of Gillette’s biggest marketing successes ever.

Jim Kilts’s focus on both business fundamentals and personal attributes provides the “complete package,” showing how to get results that make a difference through:

• Intellectual integrity: The ability to face the unvarnished truth about yourself and your business and using what you see as the basis for action.

• Generating emotional engagement and enthusiasm: Using the force of your personality and ideas to infuse people and an entire organization with a sense of purpose and mission.

• Action: Gillette, with just five product lines, had over 20,000 SKUs. After studying the issue for over two years, there were still 20,000. How Kilts got Gillette off the dime to pare down the number to 7,000 almost overnight is an astonishing example of getting the rubber to meet the road—with enormous benefits to the business.

• Understanding the right things through an overarching concept to frame and filter issues: For Jim Kilts it was Total Brand Value, the framework he used in the consumer products industry for achieving better, faster, and more complete results than the competition.

Whether you’re CEO of a multibillion-dollar global company, the brand manager for a product, an entrepreneur starting a small business, or just beginning a career, Doing What Matters provides the practical ideas that get results—ranging from a day one action plan for starting a new job to a chorus of cheers and support to a program of total innovation that involves everyone in changes from small to “big bang.”

抓住问题的核心....应用快捷筛选法：要尽可能地把问题简化，排除无关紧要的因素，要专注于关键的衡量标准或手段。例如在快消品领域，要把销售额和收入与市场份额之比以及营销和促销支出与销售额之比作为经营状况的晴雨表.

别做被慢慢煮熟的青蛙，坚实、可靠的开端很重要。真正的关键是要在踏进新的办公室之前，对未来的问题、机会以及可能的方法和障碍有个深刻的理解。

要专注于现实，最好的方法就是从局外人的角度审视局面。

对于消费产品，除了销售额和营业收入之外，你首先要看的是市场份额。市场份额是在增长还是在下滑？广告投入与销售额之比是在升高还是在降低？推销和渠道指出与销售额之比的上升趋势也是麻烦的信号。行业不同，关键的衡量标准也会不同。但是，这样的标准始终存在，它们会让你们对整个行业有一个快速的了解，为你们打开前进的道路。
