Hal McLean and Frank Mellon Release Debut Book, THE ENDURING ORGANIZATION

LENOIR CITY, Tenn., Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire-iReach/ Leadership is the single greatest variable in the health and success of any organization, and a leader's role is to ensure that his or her organization will endure.

The first book from Hal McLean and Frank Mellon, The Enduring Organization: How to Become & Remain Relevant, outlines a 4-step process that any business leader can use to cultivate a lasting company.

Changing economic conditions and the natural corporate growth cycle are inevitable, yet many companies fail to prepareand therefore fail to adapt and survive.

From their decades of work with evolving corporations, the authors have developed a simple, elegant model for creating an Enduring Organization. In The Enduring Organization, McLean and Mellon go into detail about the mistakes they've seen leaders make over and over, and how any leader can create a business that thrives for years to come.

A company's ability to change and improve begins and ends with the leader, who must ensure that:

• A relevant business model is in place and the next generation business model is already in development, with recognizable triggers to begin the migration to the new business model.
• An appropriate-minded leadership team is at the helm, as opposed to a team operating with fundamental assumptions based on conditions that no longer exist.
• An insightful organization can exist, with employees at every level surrounded by information and experiences that encourage ongoing insights into the organization's performance and relationship to the industry.
• The company can gain real traction for results, going beyond the bravado of demanding cost reduction and instead embedding key elements in the organization that consistently identify high-leverage changes.

These "anchor bolts" are the foundation of their model, and they've used them to improve company profits by between 50 and 300 percent in a variety of industries, including furniture manufacturing, chemical, capital equipment manufacturing, printing, and health care.

In The Enduring Organization, McLean and Mellon delve into how leaders can assess the opportunities within their clients' companies, design processes to reach new levels of performance, and adjust these processes until the key metrics move and are stable at new levels.

If you can't understand the causes and effects of a problem with a high degree of clarity, you won't be able to design a simple and elegant solution. And if you can't find a simple and elegant solution, you won't be able to create sustainable change.

That's why they wrote The Enduring Organizationto provide leaders like you with to tools you need not only to create change, but to sustain it.

The Enduring Organization is available now on Amazon.com and other online retailers.
