Železný maršál Louis Nicolas Davout - Michal Šťovíček

Louis Nicolas Davout byl nejnadanější z Napoleonových maršálů a jediný, který se mu v taktice vyrovnal. Zúčastnil se mnoha slavných Napoleonových bitev, měl lví podíl na vítězství u Slavkova a jeho tituly vévody z Auerstädtu a knížete Eckmühlského připomínají další dvě velké vítězné bitvy, které vybojoval samostatně. Přezdívku Železný maršál si vysloužil hlavně pro neotřesitelnou ráznost, odvahu a důslednou metodičnost, s nimiž vedl své vojáky a díky nimž nebyl nikdy poražen. Osvědčil se také jako velmi schopný organizátor a administrátor. Měl tehdejší vojenskou teorii i praxi v malíčku a k ní, podle současné terminologie, manažerský smysl a styl i v záležitostech mimo vlastní bojiště: výcvik, logistiku, zpravodajství, vojenskou psychologii… Současně vždy neochvějně prosazoval to, co pokládal za správné, vyznával přísné morální zásady. Ani jeho protivníci mu nemohli upřít poctivost, nezištnost a neúplatnost. Povinnost mu byla vším, řídil se jí v první řadě sám a její plnění tedy nesmlouvavě až drsně vyžadoval i od ostatních. Svou kontroverzní povahou, nedostatkem vlídnosti a shovívavosti si přitom tento vojevůdce kolem sebe zbytečně nadělal mnoho nepřátel, proto zůstává maršál Davout i v dnešní době nezaslouženě méně známý než mnozí jiní protagonisté napoleonských válek.

DVD film Špióni v převleku [2019]. Český dabing. Dolby Digital. Když nejlepší špión hledá dokonalé maskování, může narazit na určité potíže. Zejména, pokud jej dostane do parády geniální vynálezce, který je schopen pěkných úletů. Bylo by téměř nemožné najít dva tak odlišné hrdiny, jako jsou legendární superšpión Lance Sterling a geniální vynálezce Walter Beckett. Agent Lance kultivovaný, elegantní, nonšalantní, prostě naprosto dokonalý za všech okolností. Zatímco Walter … není. Ten je prostě jen geniální. Náročnou universitu vystudoval už v patnácti letech a teď zrovna pracuje na tajných výzkumných projektech pro ještě tajnější vládní službu. To, že se tito dva dají někdy dohromady jako parťáci v akci, by si nedokázal asi představit ani ten největší padouch.Jenže na to dojde právě teď, kdy je potřeba zachránit svět před jedním takovým, před Kellerem Killianem, zlosynem číslo 1. Walter je totiž vynálezcem biodynamického maskování, které špiónům umožní dokonalý převlek. Či spíše převtělení. A tak se díky tomuto vynálezu Lance promění v statečného, divokého, majestátního a dokonale nenápadného tvora v holuba. Geniální. Holubi jsou všude, nikdo si jich moc nevšímá a umí létat. Od té chvíle Walter a Lance musí pracovat jako dokonale sehraný tým, jinak se celý svět ocitne ve smrtelném nebezpečí.Animovaná komedie Špióni ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Agile Strategy - Ralph Fernando

Agile Strategy is a practical guide for managers responsible for setting the strategic direction of their organisations in increasingly dynamic markets. Through its frameworks, tools and real-world examples, it explains how to transform business performance through greater organisational agility. LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGY BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION Why do we need a new book on strategy?The pace of change is increasing, and strategic management is not keeping up. More than one in four (28%) strategic initiatives fail to meet their original goals and business intent[1], with insufficient agility identified as one of the top three barriers to successful strategy implementation[2].The square peg of traditional strategy — vision, mission and blue-sky exercises; the separation of strategy from “implementation” — no longer fits the round hole of increasingly dynamic markets. It is time for a new approach.How is Agile Strategy different?Agile Strategy distinguishes itself from other strategy and agile books currently available in that it is: Designed for large organisations: Much of the writing on agile techniques addresses start-ups or small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which operate under very different constraints and freedoms. Agile Strategy is written for large organisations who want to be more agile. Commercially-led: The approach is not a lightly airbrushed ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Strategy - Sir Lawrence Freedman

Selected as a Financial Times Best Book of 2013In Strategy: A History, Sir Lawrence Freedman, one of the world''s leading authorities on war and international politics, captures the vast history of strategic thinking, in a consistently engaging and insightful account of how strategy came to pervade every aspect of our lives. The range of Freedman''s narrative is extraordinary, moving from the surprisingly advanced strategy practiced in primate groups, to the opposing strategies of Achilles and Odysseus in The Iliad, the strategic advice of Sun Tzu and Machiavelli, the great military innovations of Baron Henri de Jomini and Carl von Clausewitz, the grounding of revolutionary strategy in class struggles by Marx, the insights into corporate strategy found in Peter Drucker and Alfred Sloan, and the contributions of the leading social scientists working on strategy today. The core issue at the heart of strategy, the author notes, is whether it is possible to manipulate and shape our environment rather than simply become the victim of forces beyond one''s control. Time and again, Freedman demonstrates that the inherent unpredictability of this environment-subject to chance events, the efforts of opponents, the missteps of friends-provides strategy with its challenge and its drama.

The Strategy Activation Playbook - Aric Wood

Organizations spend over £160 billion a year hiring consultants to develop and execute strategies, and yet 80 percent of corporate strategies fail.  Why? Because we forget the most important factor in successfully executing strategy: People. Our old models of change management and strategy execution assume that organizations are monolithic and can move directly from strategy-making to strategy-doing. But the modern organization is made up of increasingly more diverse, empowered, and free-thinking people, and we need to evolve how we launch our strategies to ensure we engage, align, and empower diverse groups of people to move forward together. If you want to be part of the 20 percent of leaders who succeed, then you need a new playbook for bringing your strategy to life.  With The Strategy Activation Playbook, author Aric Wood, CEO of XPLANE, teaches you how to do what he''s helped organizations around the world accomplish: align and activate the people in your organization to execute your strategy and realize your vision.  Inside, leaders will find in these pages a clear methodology for: Communicating a strategy in such a way that everyone understands it, sees how it benefits them, and becomes willing to take the journey; ...

Good Strategy/Bad Strategy - Rumelt Richard

When Richard Rumelt's Good Strategy/Bad Strategy was published in 2011, it immediately struck a chord, calling out as bad strategy the mish-mash of pop culture, motivational slogans and business buzz speak so often and misleadingly masquerading as the real thing. Since then, his original and pragmatic ideas have won fans around the world and continue to help readers to recognise and avoid the elements of bad strategy and adopt good, action-oriented strategies that honestly acknowledge the challenges being faced and offer straightforward approaches to overcoming them. Strategy should not be equated with ambition, leadership, vision or planning; rather, it is coherent action backed by an argument. For Rumelt, the heart of good strategy is insight into the hidden power in any situation, and into an appropriate response - whether launching a new product, fighting a war or putting a man on the moon. Drawing on examples of the good and the bad from across all sectors and all ages, he shows how this insight can be cultivated with a wide variety of tools that lead to better thinking and better strategy, strategy that cuts through the hype and gets results.

Ve skutečnosti se jmenoval Václav Jelínek a pocházel z pražských Kunratic. Rozvědka ho připravovala na vycestování na Západ. A vybrala si pro to legendu opravdového kluka, který se narodil za války v Holandsku, ale kterého jeho matka odložila a odvezla do dětského domova poblíž Teplic. Tady si skutečného Erwina van Haarlema po pěti letech adoptoval bezdětný pár manželů z pomezí Čech a Moravy a dali mu úplně jiné jméno i příjmení. Jméno Erwin van Haarlem tak bylo úředně volné a tajná služba toho využila a tuto identitu dala svému špionovi Jelínkovi. A vymyslela mu k tomu věrohodnou legendu, jak se protloukal životem a jak se nakonec rozhodl emigrovat. Špion si pak v klidu špionoval v Londýně… Ale kdo by čekal, že se po třiceti letech objeví ve skutečné matce Erwina van...

Leadership: Six Studies in World Strategy - Henry A. Kissinger

Henry Kissinger analyses how six extraordinary leaders he has known have shaped their countries and the world'Leaders,' writes Henry Kissinger in this compelling book, 'think and act at the intersection of two axes: the first, between the past and the future; the second between the abiding values and aspirations of those they lead. They must balance what they know, which is necessarily drawn from the past, with what they intuit about the future, which is inherently conjectural and uncertain. It is this intuitive grasp of direction that enables leaders to set objectives and lay down a strategy.'In Leadership, Kissinger analyses the lives of six extraordinary leaders through the distinctive strategies of statecraft which he believes they embodied.After the Second World War, Konrad Adenauer brought defeated and morally bankrupt Germany back into the community of nations by what Kissinger calls 'the strategy of humility'. Charles de Gaulle set France beside the victorious Allies and renewed its historic grandeur by 'the strategy of will'. During the Cold War, Richard Nixon gave geostrategic advantage to the United States by 'the strategy of equilibrium'.After twenty-five years of conflict, Anwar Sadat brought a vision of peace to the Middle East by a 'strategy of transcendence'. ...

The Soul of Strategy - Bernard J. Jaworski, David E. Sprott

A powerful and original new take on business strategy—with the customer at the center of it—designed to generate enduring competitive advantage When setting strategy, organizations typically spend too much time thinking about the competition and resources within the firm and not enough time on the customer—the soul of any organization. Such an approach is reflected in the fact that most popular theories of business strategy have focused on resource- and capability-based perspectives of the firm. Real-world businesses embracing and applying these intuitively attractive theories have struggled to compete, however, exactly because those theories fail to adequately account for the most important actor in all commercial transactions: the customer. In The Soul of Strategy, two veteran strategists and academics deliver a straightforward new approach to business strategy—one that builds and expands on the classic work of Peter Drucker—recognizing the inescapable reality, faced by every organization, that a firm's primary job is to create and keep customers. The book offers a comprehensive customer-centric strategy framework, a set of fresh perspectives and tools, and step-by-step guides to implementing the leadership styles, governance structures, and technology that companies require to outcompete their rivals in attracting and retaining customers.

The Economist: Business Strategy 3rd edition - Jeremy Kourdi

The effectiveness of a good strategy well implemented determines a business'' future success or failure. Yet history is full of strategic decisions, big and small, that were ill-conceived, poorly organised and consequently disastrous. This updated guide looks at the whole process of strategic decision-making - from vision, forecasting, and resource allocation, through to implementation and innovation. Strategy is about understanding where you are now, where you are heading and how you will get there. There is no room for timidity or confusion. Although the CEO and the board decide a company''s overall direction, it is the managers at all levels of the organisation that will determine how the vision can be transformed into action. In short, everyone is involved in strategy. But getting it right involves difficult choices: which customers to target, what products to offer and the best way to keep costs low and service high. And constantly changing business conditions inevitably bring risks. Even after business strategy has been developed, a company must remain nimble and alert to change, and view strategy as an ongoing and evolving process.The message of this guide is simple: strategy matters, and getting it right is fundamental to business success - this book ...

Strategy in 3D - Greg Fisher, Rene M. Bakker, John E. Wisneski

Strategy decision making and action used to be off limits to all but the select few at the very top of an organization. It was a largely cerebral activity focused on grand long-terms plans made at annual off-site retreats away from the daily challenges of the business. That is no longer the case.The current business environment does not wait for companies to slowly adjust in an annual meeting. The relentless pace of change renders today''s long-term future tomorrow''s history. Rapid innovations and ever-increasing complexities limit executives'' ability to make decisions with perfect information. Does this mean strategy is no longer useful, or even feasible? No. Good strategists are needed now more than ever. But today''s high-performing organizations think of strategy differently than in the past. These companies make strategy part of every manager''s role; they strategize continuously and tackle strategic problems through individuals from all parts of the organization.Strategy in this new, fast-paced world is about diagnosing the diverse array of complex challenges confronting organizations, deciding on novel solutions to address those challenges, and delivering by taking action on those solutions.

The Cambridge History of Strategy: Volume 1, From Antiquity to the American War of Independence

Volume I of The Cambridge History of Strategy offers a history of the practice of strategy from the beginning of recorded history, to the late eighteenth century, from all parts of the world. Drawing on material evidence covering two and a half millennia, an international team of leading scholars in each subject examines how strategy was formulated and applied and with what tools, from ancient Greece and China to the Ottoman and Mughal Empires and the American Revolutionary War. They explore key themes from decision-makers and strategy-making processes, causes of wars and war aims and tools of strategy in war and peace, to configurations of armed forces and distinctive and shared ways of war across civilisations and periods. A comparative conclusion examines how the linking of political goals with military means took place in different parts of the world over the course of history, asking whether strategic practice has universal features.
