Recommendation
Most companies, like most individuals, excel at making plans but are not as talented at carrying them out. Thus, execution – the ability to get things done – has become the core of management science. Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan observe that some people grow when promoted to executive leadership, while others merely swell. Those who lose touch with operational realities soon find themselves boldly leading a company going nowhere. The practical value of getting things done must be instilled at every level of your corporate culture. Bossidy and Charan say execution is simply practicing the right techniques with a disciplined approach. Their book can help you turn your plans and strategies into accomplishments and victories.
