Jackson Leadership's SMART Practice Area
In 2003, Dartmouth's Tuck School Professor and Jackson Leadership Special Consultant Sydney
Finkelstein published his Amazon #1 Business Best-Seller on
Why Smart Executives Fail. In it,
he summarized 6 years of research on why some very smart executives at 52 very successful
organizations had made decisions which led to massive corporate failure. Over the last 2 years, Jackson Leadership and Professor Finkelstein have collaborated on the
next stage of research on this topic on what differentiates highly successful organizations who
stay on top (e.g., Dell, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts) over a long-period from those who went
from Great to Terrible (e.g., Schwinn, WorldCom). To stay on top, you need to a "SMART Organization."
This requires a "SMART Early-Warning System" that constantly tracks the degree to which you have
(1)
SMART Leadership, (2) SMART Strategy, and (3) SMART Process in place to stay on top. This process
forms the basis of our new SMART Practice Area.
