REVIEW:

Ruthless Focus  provides advice based on years of research into the ideas and systems that guide the most successful and fastest growing organizations.  “Why do so many companies seem to stall and stagnate while a relative few grow and prosper?”   This question is answered by Tom Hall.  His vision was that his agency would provide clients with a world view of the best practices of the fastest growing organizations and not simply an array of internal capabilities and notions. This book is a compilation of the firm's research findings and nuggets of advice that go with them, gathered over many years and presented in a wonderfully appealing story-telling fashion. It is a gift for any owner or manager who wants to spice things up a bit down at the office and perhaps get the organization moving on a smarter, faster track.

Companies typically do not have problems with formulating a vision. That is often an exercise in creativity. Putting that vision into reality is the challenge because it involves bringing resources together with people for a common purpose. It is immensely difficult, the authors break down business development into its vital essence: what do you want to accomplish and how are you going to do it. A roadmap is provided so that business leaders can turn concepts into strategies and then deliver on them.

The book is rich with case studies including; Wal-Mart, Nucor and Home Depot.  It’s all about executing with clarity of focus in order to achieve intended results.

Ruthless Focus is a book that anyone considering building a business or buying one, or a manager running a business now, can turn to for hands on practical advice.
