LEARN HOW TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS IN A TOUGH ECONOMY

In this unpredictable business landscape, everyone is struggling to choose between chasing short-term objectives and creating a secure future for their company, but both are crucial.

As CEO of Honeywell, David Cote understood this dilemma well. He turned the company around despite facing the 2008 recession. In these pages, he shows you how taking the same revolutionary approach might be the smartest business decision you’ll ever make.

Presenting a comprehensive solution to a perennial problem, Winning Now, Winning Later is a go-to guide for you and leaders everywhere to finally transcend short-termism’s daily grind and leave an enduring legacy of success. This tested and proven approach can strengthen your business like never before and even rescue it from the brink of disaster, no matter how dire the current circumstances may seem.

In Winning Now, Winning Later, Cote shares 10 essential principles for winning today and tomorrow such as:

• Spot business practices that seem attractive in the short term but will cost the company in the future
• Determine where and how to invest in growth initiatives for maximum impact
• Sustain both short-term performance and long-term investments even in challenging times, such as a recession or leadership transition
• Feel inspired to stand up to investors and managers who are solely focused on either short- or long-term company objectives
• Step back and foster independent thinking among those around you

Reseñas de la Crítica

'I talk to more CEOs than anyone on Earth, and my advice to them is 'get this book,' because I am sick and tired of the griping and the grousing about how they aren't given enough time to work their magic. David Cote is living proof that you can perform both short and long term, and he's laid it all out for you to do it. Anyone running any business needs to satisfy more than themselves. Cote tells you how to do the job to everyone's satisfaction. Believe me, his task was a lot more difficult than yours will ever be unless your name is Hercules and you work at Augean Stables, Inc!

The former Honeywell CEO's Winning Now, Winning Later is such a rich, unusual entry in the genre because instead of running through his favorite management maxims, Cote provides a gripping, on-the-scene account of how he deployed a series of bedrock principles to transform a flailing conglomerate. The lessons come to life because the reader witnesses Cote, over 16 years ending in 2018, relentlessly putting them into practice to meet the biggest challenge in corporate America: balancing the short-term success demanded by investors with sowing the seeds for rewards that will only be harvested years hence, but are essential to achieving greatness. -- Fortune Magazine
