The Three Key Processes of Execution

Building block #3 - The RIght People in the Right Places

Building block #1 - Leaders Who Understand Execution

Building block #2 - A Culture Focused on Execution

People generally don’t think themselves into a new way of acting.

The stronger and more transparent the linkages between performance and rewards, the better.

Generate an ongoing dialogue (or “social software”) that brings realities to the surface, teaches people how to think and ideally brings issues to closure.

Set the right example.

Realize that formality always suppresses dialogue.
Encourage people to be bold and take some risks.
Bring issues to closure – so new issues can be discussed.

Encourage people to have open minds.
Allow people to speak candidly without recrimination.
