Recommendation

Pocket-sized books on business topics can be helpful refreshers and can give readers concise overviews. However, in most of them you cannot actually learn enough about the topics treated to act on them in depth. Here Tom Gorman emphasizes what you need to know to execute a business plan. He discusses how to take action, and how to deal with success or difficulty. While his material is clear and organized, he can say only so much about this broad subject in so few pages. Basically, he hits the high points and raises awareness of major business execution issues. If you’re in a hurry or you need a quick rundown on the basics, getAbstract thinks you will find this very handy.

Take-Aways

  • Success comes from executing the right plans, not from the planning process itself.
  • First, understand what needs to be done and identify the resources required to do it.
  • As you choose among various options, consider the trade-offs you face.
