Average Rating: Rating: - valid point, but terrible to read The main statement of this book is that execution is not addressed sufficiently as a factor of success in business. Consequently the authors set about to change that. Unfortunately, their execution is pretty bad, it's writing is boring, with no cohesion, and lacking true genuine insights. I'd advise against buying this book. Rating: - Terrible Book I was so looking forward to reading this book after having the privilege of hearing Larry Bossidy speak. However, the book was a HUGE disappointment to me, so much so that I shelved it after 80 pages. It was terribly written by both contributing authors. Frankly, there was no need to write this book at all. The premise was so simplistic that I gained no more knowledge about execution in business than I had before reading it. Having just earned my MBA, I had been exposed to so many great business books during the course of my studies. I am glad that this book never showed up on any of my reading lists. Take my advice and don't bother buying this book, if you have an ounce of intelligence, you will come away saying "why did I waste my time with reading this". Rating: - A Powerful Message in Plain Language When a company gets in trouble and the leadership is shown to the door, who does the board of directors look for as a replacement? A leader with a proven track record to EXECUTE. Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan lay out the building blocks for assembling an execution-focused organization in plain language, and supplement their approach with numerous anecdotes. Most, if not all, of their "how NOT to manage" anecdotes had me shaking my head -- because almost all of us can personally relate them to our own corporate experiences (for example, when the leader sacrifices future performance to make his quarterly numbers or a senior management team agrees that actions need to be taken without assigning concrete actions and accountability). This book is a quick and engaging read, and the book is definitely grounded more in real corporate experiences than in academic theories. The wisdom gained from those corporate experiences returns propriety to the often hollow expression "people are our most important asset." Companies who follow the guidelines of "Execution" know that processes are useless without the right strategies, and strategies are useless without the right people engaged and accountable for executing them.
