Most companies excel at making plans but fail when it comes to actually executing them out. Larry Bossidy, the CEO of Honeywell International, together with consultant Ram Charan explains how getting things done on a strategic level is the most important function for a business leader. The authors examine in detail three processes of execution, i.e., people, strategy and operations and show how all three are linked. They reveal that generally more time and effort is given to strategic and management skills, and not to the discipline of execution which is also equally important. They further describe seven essential behaviors must for execution and leadership. The authors emphasize that the practical value of achieving objectives must be infused at every level of a company and its culture. Read this book to help in turning your strategies into successful moves.
