This title includes the stories of eight extraordinary CEOs, who ignored or defied the conventional wisdom of their time and applied a common set of principles to achieve remarkable and enduring success. It's time to redefine the CEO success story. Ask most people what describes an effective CEO, and you'll get a pretty consistent answer-"a seasoned manager with deep industry expertise". Magnify that through today's celebrity - saturated lens, and someone like former GE head Jack Welch becomes the poster child for CEO success: seasoned, but also charismatic, cutting-edge, and "Wall-Street" savvy. But is this the blueprint we should be following? Not necessarily. The performance of Welch and other high-profile CEOs doesn't come close to the achievements of the CEOs profiled in "The Outsiders". Meet eight iconoclastic leaders who helmed firms where returns on average outperformed the S&P 500 by over 20 times. You may not know some of their names (Henry Singleton, Bill Anders, Tom Murphy) - but you will recognize many of their companies (General Cinema, Ralston Purina, The Washington Post Company, and Berkshire Hathaway). In this book, you'll learn the consistent and rational traits that helped these select leaders achieve that exceptional performance. Humble, unassuming, and often frugal, these "outsiders" shunned "Wall Street" and the press and shied away from hot management trends. Instead, they honed specific (and less sexy) characteristics including: a laser-sharp focus on per share value rather than sales or earnings; an exceptional talent for allocating capital and human resources; the belief that cash flow, not reported earnings, determines a company's long-term value; and, a penchant for giving local managers autonomy to release entrepreneurial energy. Drawing on extensive research, Will Thorndike tells many of these leaders' stories for the first time - and extracts lessons for those of you hoping to lead your company to exceptional returns today.

有点担心这些人是不是选择上有幸存者偏差。他们都是成功的做了比较大规模并购并且成功的。这和上课学的小步(profit from the core)慢走有不少区别。除此之外的故事似乎都还不错。
评分可读性很强。几个要点:好的CEO身边常常有一个好的COO负责日常运营,这样才能腾出手来思考战略层面的问题。在企业股价高企时通过换股买入廉价资产,而在企业股价低迷时回购作为投资加强股东回报。模糊的正确好过精确的错误,习惯独立思考,正确不因他人苟同,而是因为事实和推理有理有据。长期观点,耐心等待机会出现。相对分散的运营管理,只要达到财政预期,就不要干涉管理者。招管理者要谨慎,一旦用人则不疑。按照绩效取舍人,这样没人担心谁曲意逢迎。成本意识极强,没有繁华的办公室,总部没有太多的行政管理人员,运营分散但资本决策集中,及时卖掉臃肿非核心业务,董事会成员要对公司有投资和投入才能真心管理好这个企业。收购决策不需要几十页长篇大论,着重关注标的市场增长潜能,行业竞争,潜在运营改进空间,以及现金产生能力
评分啰嗦之极
评分有一些行业知识,对于判断CEO的能力提供了一个非常有用的视角
评分读前面两章+最后两章足够了。现在读来,再看看Valeant的故事,Outsider CEO不是那么容易的。
墨菲的秘诀: 1. 专注于那些商业特征非常有吸引力的行业,有选择的利用杠杆买入偶然出现的大资产、改善经营、支付债务;重复上述做法。 2. 这种系统赋予你的自主权和权威如此之大,把你腐蚀到无法想象自己会离开。 3. 墨菲收购的标准:在没有杠杆的情况下,10年中税后年收益率...
评分 评分今天读的这本书来自美国的威廉·桑代克的《商界局外人》,是一本读了之后让我耳目一新的书。 在读这本书之前,如果你要问我谁是最伟大的CEO?我肯定不假思索地回答杰克韦尔奇或者乔布斯。自幼读杰克韦尔奇的自传长大的我觉得伟大的CEO或许就像他那个样子,果断、坚毅、狼性…...
评分 评分提到伟大的CEO,大家首先想到的往往是杰克•韦尔奇或史蒂夫•乔布斯。但从为股东创造财富的角度考虑,书中介绍的8个人其实更伟大(长期收益率更高)。他们之所以能取得如此惊人的成果,共同特点在于: A、在投资前反复询问自己“收益是什么”,通过最保守的估计,只选...
