Summary: Execution Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan

This ebook offers a summary of the book «EXECUTION – THE DISCIPLINE OF GETTING THINGS DONE» by Bossidy and Charan.

Execution – or more frequently, the lack of execution – is the biggest issue facing businesses today. Execution is the gap between what a company promises and the results it actually achieves. To be able to execute consistently well, a business needs to have in place three key building blocks: leaders who are handson and who understand execution, a corporate culture which values execution highly and the right people in the right places.

In all, execution never just happens by chance. Unless the right people focus on the right details at the right time, execution just won't happen. Great leaders always know how to execute. They expound a corporate vision which is grounded squarely in reality rather than wishes.
