Résumé

Every company has a personality. Does yours help or hinder your results? Does it make you fit for growth? Find out by taking the quiz that's helped 50,000 people better understand their organisation's at OrgDNA.com and to learn more about Organizational DNA.

Just as you can understand an individual's personality, so too can you understand a company's type - what makes it tick, what's good and bad about it. Results explains why some organizations bob and weave and roll with the punches to consistently deliver on commitments and produce great results, while others can't leave their corner of the ring without tripping on their own shoelaces. Gary Neilson and Bruce Pasternack help you identify which of the seven company types you work for - and how to keep what's good and fix what's wrong. You'll feel the shock of recognition ("That's me, that's my company") as you find out whether your organisation is:

Passive-Aggressive ("everyone agrees, smiles, and nods, but nothing changes"): entrenched underground resistance makes getting anything done like trying to nail jelly to the wall

Fits-and-Starts ("let 1,000 flowers bloom"): filled with smart people pulling in different directions

Outgrown ("the good old days meet a brave new world"): reacts slowly to market developments, since it's too hard to run new ideas up the flagpole

Overmanaged ("we're from corporate and we're here to help"): more reporting than working, as managers check on their subordinates' work so they can in turn report to their bosses

Just-in-Time ("succeeding, but by the skin of our teeth"): can turn on a needle and create real breakthroughs but also tends to burn out its best and brightest

Military Precision ("flying in formation"): executes brilliant strategies but usually does not deal well with events not in the script

Resilient ("as good as it gets"): flexible, forward-looking, and fun; bounces back when it hits a bump in the road and never, ever rests on its laurels

For anyone who's ever said, "Wow, that's a great idea, but it'll never happen here" or "Whew, we pulled it off again, but I'm tired of all this sprinting," Results provides robust, practical ideas for becoming and remaining a resilient business.
