Bossidy and Charan emphasize that execution is an integral

Bossidy and Charan emphasize that execution is an integral part of strategy, it is the main task of any business leader who wants not only to succeed but also to dominate the market, and it is an integral part of business culture. The critical link between strategy, operations and people is the role of the business leader. To accomplish this critical task, the leader must be involved in all three elements in a meaningful way-he must not micromanage them, but lead them toward effective execution. Bossidy and Charan show how important it is to be deeply and passionately engaged in business, and why active dialogues about people, strategy and operations lead to a business built on intellectual honesty and realism. Successes like 31 consecutive quarters with earnings per share of 13% or more are not the result of chance, but the consistent application of execution discipline: understanding how to connect people, strategy and operations-the three fundamental processes of any business. Successes like 31 consecutive quarters with earnings per share of 13% or more are not the result of chance; they are the result of consistent application of execution discipline: understanding how to connect people, strategy and operations-the three fundamental processes of any business. Execution shows how to connect people, strategy and operations-the three fundamental processes of any business. Nevertheless, Bossidy and Charan offer sound advice on a neglected topic, turning Execution into a guide for seasoned business leaders on how to cause success rather than let it take hold. Larry Bossidy recognized that execution in a company defines its true greatness. Bossidy, CEO of Honeywell International, Inc. and Charan, a consultant to business leaders and author of such books as “What the CEO Wants You to Know” and “Tips That Work,” present tried-and-true ideas on how seamless execution of these three processes can set a company apart from others. Although failure in today’s business world is often attributed to other causes, Bossidy and Charan argue that the biggest obstacle to success is lack of implementation.
