Recommendation

Productivity consultant Laura Stack outlines a clear road to execution: Create a simple, straightforward strategy, choose agile methods, align employee goals to the strategy and get out of the way. Many organizations spend too much time planning, meeting and making decisions and too little time executing. In slow organizations that accomplish little, spending more time on planning and strategy may be a waste. Stack’s good examples and clear illustrations will help you develop a streamlined strategy with flexible execution tactics. Unfortunately, few who have followed management best practices for the last 10 years will find any new revelations here. But if you are an inexperienced manager or mired down, Stack will help you develop strategy, set goals and facilitate teamwork. getAbstract finds that she offers wisdom and advice worth acting on.

Take-Aways

  • Develop an uncomplicated, communicable, flexible strategy.
  • Communicate the strategy throughout your organization; align it to your firm’s mission and purpose, and to people’s goals.
  • Ensure that all employees understand the strategy and their role in achieving it.
