Unmatched. Seven Management Principles That Will Take Your Company to an Extremely High Level

Just like Jim Collins in his bestseller «Good to Great», Josh Bersin asked the question: what distinguishes good companies from outstanding ones? In search of an answer, he studied the practices of Microsoft, Google, Unilever, IKEA, and other leaders in the global market. For many years, Bersin researched their management methods, HR practices, and leadership approaches. He conducted over a thousand in-depth interviews with managers, compared the gathered information with financial results, and tested dozens of different hypotheses. The result was seven principles that compel a company to transition from «stability» to «unmatched» and achieve outstanding results.

The author offers a new perspective on hiring methods, employee development, and creating a healthy work environment. Additionally, he suggests moving away from a rigid hierarchy and making the organization a flexible network by implementing Agile practices.
