The new CEO of the company I work for is a big believer in the principles of The 80/20 CEO. He is using the book as the blueprint for our strategy and organizational structure going forward. He is currently working the third step: Build the Structure.
At the heart of the model a quad that segments customer and products based on their revenue contributions. Each quadrant represents an important aspect of your business that must be managed differently:
1. Your "A" customers buying your "A" products ("The Fort")
2. "A" customers buying "B" products ("The Necessary Evil")
3. "B" customers buying "A" products ("The Transactional")
4. "B" customers buying "B" products ("The Profit Destroyers")
Invariably, the first two quadrants (your "A" customers) generate at least 80% of your revenue. Furthermore, "you will likely find that significantly more than 80 percent of your profits--typically 150 to 200 percent--are made on the 20 percent of customers/products that generate 80 percent of your revenue."
This book helped me understand several important principles of the model:
The Trivial Many vs. the Critical Few: "The Pareto principle asserts that a minority of actions, causes, or inputs produces the majority of results, outputs, or rewards. More important for business, the Pareto principle allows us to translate the words 'majority' and 'minority' into a rough ratio: 80/20."
Lean Manufacturing: These principles "will go a long way toward not doing something stupid, like throwing a million bucks at a nickel problem."
Managing through Data-based KPI's: "The problem is that too many businesses measure only with the intention of reporting the measurements. Reporting is not a reason to measure. The reason to measure is to do, improve, manage…"
Thinking Strategically: "Convergent thinking is about zeroing in on the best options. Filter out all but the highest-value opportunities by looking at their revenue and profit potential, affordability, and relative ease of execution… until you are left with the 'critical few' (generally three to five) strategic initiatives required to attain your objectives."
Segmenting: Segmenting can be done by customer, product line, and/or geographical region. "Companies tend to produce too many products in too great variety, they hire employees they don't need, and they expand into markets and economic sectors they would be far better off avoiding."
I alternated between the paperback and the audiobook read by the author.

Totally Nonsense
December 3, 2024
In "The 80/20 CEO: Take Command of Your Business in 100 Days", Bill Canady shares a powerful approach to transforming businesses by focusing on strategic priorities and leveraging the 80/20 principle. Drawing from his personal journey—from growing up in rural North Carolina to becoming a successful CEO—Canady illustrates how determination and strategic thinking can overcome even the most challenging circumstances. His career, marked by roles in industrial automation, manufacturing, and generating equipment, gave him hands-on experience in navigating complex business landscapes and developing his Profitable Growth Operating System (PGOS). This system is built on the 80/20 principle, which emphasizes prioritizing the most impactful 20% of efforts to achieve 80% of results.
When Canady stepped into the CEO role at Phoenix Industrial Technologies, he encountered a company weighed down by inefficiencies and unclear direction. His turnaround strategy began with a rigorous assessment of the company’s challenges and opportunities, guided by tools like checklists and structured feedback mechanisms. By asking incisive questions about the organization’s past, present, and future, Canady quickly gained a comprehensive understanding of its state. He also drew on the Stockdale Paradox, maintaining faith in the company’s ultimate success while confronting its harsh realities, and used the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize tasks by urgency and importance, ensuring that every action aligned with the company’s strategic goals.
The heart of Canady’s approach was applying the 80/20 principle to identify and focus on the company’s most profitable customers and products. Within 30 days, his team had segmented these into strategic quadrants, emphasizing those that generated the majority of revenue. This prioritization allowed them to direct resources effectively and align their efforts with the company’s core strengths. Through candid discussions, Canady and his team identified growth opportunities, from streamlining operations to exploring new markets, while distilling their insights into actionable initiatives. The goal was not perfection but progress, as Canady emphasized the importance of building a clear direction and adapting as circumstances evolved.
A key concept in the book is the “Zero-Up” method, a thought experiment that challenges leaders to imagine starting their business from scratch, focusing exclusively on the most profitable customers and products. By analyzing the business through this lens, leaders can identify inefficiencies and opportunities to reallocate resources strategically. Canady’s methods highlight the importance of gradual, thoughtful change rather than drastic action, emphasizing restructuring and innovation over elimination. This approach drives continuous improvement and sustainable growth while maintaining balance and focus.
The main takeaway from "The 80/20 CEO" is that strategic focus and prioritization are essential for business success. Canady’s framework demonstrates how leaders can identify their organization’s strengths, set clear goals, and allocate resources effectively. Tools like checklists, structured feedback, and the Eisenhower Matrix help ensure alignment with these priorities. By embracing progress over perfection and honing in on what truly matters, leaders can unlock hidden potential and drive rapid, meaningful growth in their businesses.

Author Bill Canady has written a compelling and insightful read that stands out in the crowded field of business leadership books. Canady, with his rich executive background, doesn't just theorize about leadership and business management; he brings a wealth of real-world experience to the table, making his advice both credible and palpably practical. The book's unflinching focus on the 80/20 principle, which Canady ingeniously applies to every facet of business leadership, makes this book a must read. This book doesn’t just skim the surface; it delves deep into the nitty-gritty of transforming a business, making it a treasure trove for CEOs and business leaders who are serious about driving substantial and sustainable growth. The structure of the book is meticulously planned, divided into three distinct parts, each addressing a crucial phase in the transformation journey of a business leader. The first part, focusing on what new CEOs should do first, serves as an excellent roadmap for anyone stepping into a leadership role. The second part, detailing the Profitable Growth Operating System (PGOS), is where Canady’s expertise shines. His step-by-step breakdown of this system is both enlightening and pragmatic, offering readers a clear blueprint for business success. However, it's the third part of the book, dealing with the ongoing management practice portfolio, that I found particularly striking. Canady’s exploration of topics like lean management, talent development, and risk management is comprehensive and forward-thinking. His approach to these subjects is refreshingly original and devoid of the fluff that often clutters business books. What truly resonates throughout the book is Canady's emphasis on action over mere conceptual understanding. His writing style is engaging and devoid of unnecessary jargon, making complex concepts accessible. The real-world examples and case studies he includes not only illustrate his points beautifully but also provide a practical context that is often missing in other books in this genre.

It's a must-read for anyone aspiring to make a tangible impact in their organization and navigate the complexities of modern business with confidence and strategic acumen.

In "The 80/20 CEO," Bill Canady draws inspiration from Vilfredo Pareto, a versatile figure known for excelling in various fields and having a passion for gardening. Pareto's observation that 80% of healthy pea pods came from 20% of his pea plants led to the creation of the Pareto principle, suggesting that focusing 80% of resources on the most productive 20% of customers and products can yield significant results in business. Canady encourages readers to embrace this principle for enhanced efficiency.
The book underscores the 80/20 principle in decision-making, drawn from the author's rich experience. As the CEO of Phoenix Industrial Technologies, facing sales and morale decline, Canady applied PGOS (Profitable Growth Now), prioritizing crucial products and customers. The book advocates asking straightforward questions to uncover business issues and emphasizes the practicality of checklists. Success, according to Canady, requires purpose, a clear strategy, and visualizing goals. The "Stub Year" approach, illustrated in the book, focuses on earning growth rights in the first hundred days through clear goals, 80/20 strategy, organizational structure, and effective communication.

Since I started my business a year ago, I have become an avid reader of business books, constantly seeking strategies for effective business management. I recently read The 80/20: Take Command of Your Business in 100 Days written by the creator of the Profitable Growth Operating System®, Bill Canady.
Promising a detailed playbook for senior-level executives, the blurb intrigued me with its analogy likening business leadership to piloting an aircraft, where the risk of crashing and burning looms large. This analogy serves as a powerful metaphor for the challenges faced by leaders in maintaining the sustainability and growth trajectory of their organizations.
One of the most striking aspects of the book is its emphasis on efficiency and strategic focus, encapsulated by the 80/20 principle. This principle suggests that 80% of outcomes result from 20% of efforts. The author masterfully integrates this principle into the fabric of the operating system, guiding executives on how to identify and prioritize the critical few initiatives that drive maximum results.
Moreover, the book's structured approach provides a roadmap for achieving profitable strategic growth within a compressed time frame of 100 days. This aspect is particularly appealing for executives who work in a rapidly evolving business landscape, where adaptability and agility are extremely important.
Throughout the book, the author's expertise shines through, offering invaluable insights from years of experience in business leadership and consulting. Practical examples, simple explanations of concepts, and anecdotes make the book's contents easily digestible and applicable in real-world scenarios.
I found myself reflecting on my own experiences in leadership roles and contemplating how the principles outlined could be implemented to enhance organizational performance in my own business, although mine is a fairly small one. The book not only offers a blueprint for growth but also prompts introspection and strategic thinking. This book is a must-read for all business owners, leaders, and managers. I highly recommend it.

The Profit Growth Operating System, or PGOS, is a multifaceted approach to growing one’s business. It is based on five management practices, those being lean, talent, M&A, strategy, and 80/20. Presumably, most individuals who are in charge of companies have not heard of this system before, but it is proven to work well for those who want to drive strategic growth. Since most companies are looking to expand into new markets, learning about this system is invaluable. It’s relatively simplistic once each business owner grasps the general concept. The company growth that’s likely when entrepreneurs implement the PGOS should be ample incentive to try it.
That is the lesson author Bill Canady tries to impart in The 80/20 CEO. It’s a nonfiction book that targets company executives, particularly those who want to impress their bosses and rise within the ranks. The purpose of the book is twofold. The first reason to read it is to drive company growth, and the second is to become more visible within the business’s hierarchy.
Middle managers who are interested in doing both these things should heed Canady’s advice. He has used the PGOS to grow companies that were mired in mediocrity, and readers can do the same. That’s provided they’re able to follow this book’s lessons and duplicate what Canady has done.
Anyone who’s motivated to grow their company should enjoy how simply this book is laid out.
Though the steps the author would have his readers follow are relatively complex, they’re presented using plain language that shouldn’t be at all daunting. Someone with an advanced business or economics degree should have no problems grasping the tenets of the PGOS, but individuals who never pursued higher education can as well.
Canady is adamant that his system can turn around nearly any business in just 100 days, and anyone who’s trying to do that would be wise to believe him. He has come up with a proven system that works for virtually any business model, and who doesn’t want their company to thrive?

Take Command of Your Business in 100 Days is the first in the series of The 80/20 CEO books with the remainder set to release later on in 2024.
It is a refreshing take on frameworks and models for you to apply to your own business. Backed up with examples and cited references, the 80/20 theory details how 80% of your revenue comes from just 20% of your customers and how to use this knowledge to harness the potential of your business to make the best use of your time and input to enhance your customer base and success.
This book is a helpful resource using tried and tested methods. The author brings firsthand experience of bringing back a company from the brink of collapse.
The writing is easy to understand and not full of business jargon, everything is explained fully so can be followed by people new to the industry.
The author emphasizes the importance of being Inclusive-bringing staff along with you instead of a top-down culture, as well as the importance of getting everyone on the same page and invested in the company’s success.
This book highlights common mistakes such as waiting for the right time for everything to be perfect instead of taking action as soon as possible-the timing can be absolutely critical and make the difference between salvaging a company and not.
This book also demonstrates what can happen when you overcomplicate the situation, taking it back to basics can be the solution and this book details how this can be achieved. There is information on how to keep the company’s focus in the correct areas and how to foster long-term strategies to achieve the company’s goals. Not setting empty goals but setting out how they will be achieved with an explanation of why business leaders should not be afraid of setting goals and targets.
I particularly enjoyed the relevant quotes at the beginning of each chapter.
Told from a place of experience and creating shareholder value, the narrative of this book is informative and reassuring whilst giving you the support and encouragement to make the changes you need in your business.

One thing that I have little experience with is the business world. I have read a few books on the subject. Something, though I believe has helped me understand a little bit about this world is Shark tank. One of things I have seen on the show is when people take control of their businesses, and make it successful. Perhaps one thing they have used to take command is read this book. This book is a very interesting read. It continues a lot of advice regarding business; in particular there is a focus on the beginners of the business. First, I love the cover because it is very enticing. As I perused this book, I first noticed the testimonials at the beginning of the book. There are a bunch of quotes from different people who have promoted this book. They are simple and show the book as a positive resource. As I read, I noticed the chapters can be easily understood. Each chapter builds off of each other, building the business in the first 100 and then you build off of that. The advice given in each chapter is good. For instance, I love the chapter which speaks of the business beyond the 100 days. This shows people that it is good to look ahead and have a plan for the business. Overall, the chapters also contain stories which are contained on a page that is colored. The color helps one to focus on the content, because it may be important. For people who are just starting out, or even people who have been in the business a hundred days this book will be helpful in their career. I hope this book is easily accessible to people because the 80/20 CEO is a wonderful book that is needed in the world of business.
