Get it Done!
A Blueprint for Business Execution
Wiley, 2005
Sobre o que é?
To get things done, be sure staffers know what you want to achieve and understand the impact of your decisions.
Recommendation
Being able to execute is essential to business success, so "business transformation" consultants Ralph Welborn and Vince Kasten want to teach you how to get things done. Their book reviews the requirements of execution, and recommends worthwhile tools to help you move from "strategic direction" to "operational reality." Besides its numerous assets, such as a strong discussion about creating clear communications, the book has a few flaws in grammar, jargon, doublespeak ("pretipping point tipping points") and consistency, in that it seems to define key concepts differently in various chapters. As the authors acknowledge, their tactics - while important to execution - are technical, time-consuming and costly. While most senior executives will grasp the obvious merit of these well-reasoned ideas, many leaders will wonder exactly how to put them into pragmatic operational use. Despite wishing for more practical hands-on guidance, getAbstract finds this book's ideas versatile and valuable.
