Book Description

May 12, 2010
"Ruthless Focus will spark a true revolution in your company as it has in ours. The examples and insights Tom Hall shares highlight the benefits of this simple, yet oftenoverlooked business strategy."
~Jason Lexell, President, Digital Harvest, Inc.

"Ruthless Focus is the most important business book I have ever read. If you want to outperform your competition, read Ruthless Focus and apply the lessons-good luck without them."
~Chip Webster, President, Vistage Florida

Why do so many companies seem to stall and stagnate while a relative few grow and prosper?

What are the ingredients that combine to give some really successful growth companies long-term sustainable advantages? Why aren't more companies like them? Why do some organizations have great promise at the beginning but they quickly plateau? Does anyone stay small on purpose? Success and growth are not inevitable. In this book, you'll read about some companies who have been successful for decades. And you'll learn what sets them apart from the competition. We call it "Ruthless Focus." We'll show you companies that are successful for years by maintaining a Ruthless Focus on a single, simple, core strategy. Ruthless Focus drives out temptation and distraction. Ruthless Focus helps you concentrate your time and resources and people and innovation on coming up with ways to be grow profitably, and to design your organization to make it work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ruthless Research, August 10, 2010
By 
Richard H. Truitt (Norwalk, CT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ruthless Focus (Paperback)
The most important thing about this book is that its advice is based on years of painstaking research into the ideas and systems that guide the most successful and fastest growing organizations and not simply the accumulated experience of its authors. When this project was in the dream stage, it was molded by Tom Hall's vision that his agency would provide clients with a world view of the best practices of the fastest growing organizations and not simply an array of internal capabilities and notions. This book is a compilation of the firm's research findings and nuggets of advice that go with them, gathered over many years and presented in a wonderfully appealing story-telling fashion. It is a gift for any owner or manager who wants to spice things up a bit down at the office and perhaps get the organization moving on a smarter, faster track.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Invaluable Business Management Resource, July 22, 2010
This review is from: Ruthless Focus (Paperback)
Companies typically do not have problems with formulating a vision. That is often an exercise in creativity. Putting that vision into reality is the challenge because it involves bringing resources together with people for a common purpose. It is immensely difficult. And for that reason we are fortunate to have such a resource as Ruthless Focus.

Authors Thomas Hall and Wally Bock break down business development into its vital essence: what do you want to accomplish and how are you going to do it. Simple questions but tough to answer.!And that is why Ruthless Focus is so valuable. The authors provide a roadmap that business leaders can use to turn concepts into strategies and subsequently how to deliver on them.

The book contains a rich source of case studies that unmask the secrets of turning strategies into implementation steps. Wal-Mart, Nucor and Home Depot are cited as a good examples of how to execute with clarity of focus in order to achieve intended results.

Ruthless Focus is a book that anyone considering building a business or buying one, or a manager running a business now, can turn to for hands on practical advice. This is a rich resource that belongs on any business bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bringing focus to a team, July 12, 2010
This review is from: Ruthless Focus (Paperback)
My boss actually had our team read this book in an effort to get us all on the same page towards a more focused company. We are a small company but are very diverse in what we do, so we've struggled with prioritizing and ensuring that everyone on our team stays on track during projects. This book had some really great points not only to focus our team, but also to eliminate things that are inefficient in trying to grow the company.
