FORGING THE HEROIC ORGANIZATION
Murphy, Emmett C.
1994 52638 Emerging from the lingering effects of two decades of quick fix and piecemeal strategies for success, American companies are searching for strategies that will prepare them to take their place in the new corporate order of the 21st century. From the authors of the bestseller The Genius of Sitting Bull, comes Forging the Heroic Organization, which utilizes a revolutionary business-building strategy that is both cutting-edge and battle-tested over centuries. It is based on the sacred Sioux concept of Cangleska Wacan, a hoop or medicine circle that embodied the interrelationship of everything under the sun - humans, their organizations and their environment into one continuous process of growth and development. In Emmett Murphy's ingenious adaptation of this concept, leaders are shown a proven process of collaborative work redesign and continuous improvement that can be applied to every stakeholder who depends on the success of the organization. These stakeholders include front-line managers, employees, suppliers, customers, shareholders and the Board, the community, the environment, government, international partners, and the global competition. Murphy shows how businesses can harness the energy of their stakeholders to respond with flexibility and speed to opportunities for growth, new product development, and all the expected and unexpected crises that occur in corporate life, from the challenge of restructuring and reengineering to sales and market share decline, from government regulation to international competition. The time has come for businesses to rethink and address the crucial interrelationships upon which their success - and their very livelihood - depends. Emmett Murphy's Forging the Heroic Organization charts the course all companies can follow in the quest for real growth and strength that stands the test of time. BookList The authors provide this sequel to their last year's The Genius of Sitting Bull: Thirteen Heroic Strategies for Today's Business Leaders", where they encouraged leaders to adopt the Sioux chief's courage, vision, integrity, etc. Here they argue that organizations as well as leaders themselves must act heroically, and they offer the concept of cangleska wakan", the Native American sacred hoop or medicine circle, as a model for organizational structure. The foundation of cangleska wakan" is the emphasis on the interrelatedness of everything in the world, and the authors create an "organizational medicine circle" to show how an organization's 13 different stakeholders (such as its leadership, community, suppliers, customers, competitors, and board) are all connected to each other. Building on this framework, they identify the seven-step process "whereby the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts" and identify organizations that have successfully--and heroically--followed this process. This is a book for management planners and strategists who prefer to think metaphorically.

The Genius of Sitting Bull: Thirteen Heroic Strategies for Today's Business Leaders
Murphy, Emmett C.
1992 10000477 The epic Battle of the Little Bighorn, "Custer's Last Stand," was the most catastrophic defeat ever suffered by the U.S. military. Today, over 100 years later, America's economic forces have come dangerously close to a similar humiliation at the hands of well-armed and capable worldwide competitors. Will our country triumph? Bringing to light the strategic and tactical brilliance of a long-unheralded leader, Emmett C. Murphy shows how business leaders can follow Sitting Bull's heroic model to win victory in the global economy. Tracking each fateful move of both the Federal Army and Indian forces at the Little Bighorn, Murphy shows that the historic showdown holds the blueprint for re-energizing organizations; rightsizing forces; renewing employees' trust, commitment; and regaining competitiveness in any market. He lays bare the folly of Custer's ruthless, "winner-take-all" egotism as compared to Sitting Bull's noble, heroic focus on commitment, teamwork, and trust. Though faced with a dispirited, ravaged nation and betrayal by allies and enemies alike, Sitting Bull succeeded in rallying the various proud, independent Sioux tribes around a single banner. Through the craft of heroic leadership, he rekindled the greatness of his people. Murphy shows us how these lessons can be applied to leadership today. Learn to master the thirteen heroic strategies of a great leader through three key phases:. Phase One: Assembly and Integration of Forces. The leader creates commitment, builds trust, increases power, lives the experience of the people, acts as a healer - and communicates on many levels, committing followers to a shared vision. Phase Two: Projection and Application. The leader thinks strategically, respects the competition, redefines the rules of battle, knows the terrain, rightsizes forces - overcoming obstacles and creating opportunity. Phase Three: Adjustment and Reflection. The leader welcomes crisis, and measures results - continuously seeking improvement...
