Abstract
Amazon Review
Jack Welch
"A great practitioner and an insightful theorist join forces to write a compelling business story of 'how to get it done'."
Synopsis
Larry Bossidy is one of the world's most acclaimed CEOs, with a track record for delivering results that has few peers. Ram Charan is a legendary advisor to senior executives and boards of directors, with unparalleled insight into why some companies are successful and others not. The result is the book people in business need today. Leaders who create execution cultures focus on five key items: 1. They pick specific priorities for their businesses and set clear timetables for achieving them. 2. They assign the projects to the right people and groups - those whom they know can execute them. 3. They set milestones and conduct hard-nosed interim reviews. 4. They measure their peoples' performance according to the outcome of the projects, including the interim targets. 5. They link everything, from the original priorities to the milestone and performance measurements, to external information that reflects marketplace realities.
