When Execution was first published in 2002 it changed the way we did our jobs. By analysing
the discipline of getting things done it helped thousands of business people to make the final
leap to success. Now Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan reframe their empowering message for a world
in which the old rules have been shattered and radical change is becoming routine. For the
foreseeable future: - Growth will be slower. But the company that executes well will have the
confidence speed and resources to move fast as new opportunities emerge. - Competition will
be fiercer with companies searching for any possible advantage in every area. - Governments
will take on new roles in their national economies. And companies that execute well will be
more attractive as partners and suppliers and better prepared to adapt to new waves of
regulation. - Risk management will become a top priority for every leader and every company
will be looking for the edge in detecting new internal and external threats. Forget
formulating a 'vision' then leaving others to carry it out: Execution shows you how to link
together people strategy and operations - the three core elements of every organisation - and
create a business based on dialogue intellectual honesty and realism. With case histories from
the real world Execution provides the realistic and hard-nosed approach to business success
that could only come from authors as accomplished and insightful as Bossidy and Charan.
