'A valuable and practical management guide that is must-reading for anyone who cares about business' The New York Times The Book That Shows How to Get the Job Done and Deliver Results ... whether you're running an entire company or in your first management job Larry Bossidy is one of the world's most acclaimed CEOs, with a track record for delivering results that has few peers. Ram Charan is a legendary advisor to senior executives and boards of directors, with unparalleled insight into why somé companies are successful and others are not. The result is the book people in business need today. One with a highly practical framework for closing the gap between results promised and results delivered. After a long, stellar career with GE, Larry Bossidy became CEO of Allied Signal and transformed it into one of the world's most admired companies. Accomplishments like 31 consecutive quarters of earnings-per-share growth of 13% or more don't just happen. They result from consistent practice of the discipline of execution: understanding how to link the three core processes of any business together: people, strategy and operations. The leader's most important job - selecting and appraising people - is one that should never be delegated. As a CEO Larry Bossidy personally makes the calls to check references for key hires. Why? With the right people in the right jobs there's a leadership gene pool that conceives and selects strategies that can be executed. People then work together to create a strategy, building block-bybuilding block - a strategy in synch with the realities of the marketplace, the economy and the competition. It's then linked to an operating process that converts the strategy into specific programs and actions and that assigns accountability. 'Good practical insight and advice on managing for results at firms of any size. Execution is key and this book clearly explains what it means and how it brings together the critical elements of any organization - its people, strategies, and operations.' L.R. Raymond, Chairman and CEO, Exxon Mobil 'The best thought-out plans in the world aren't worth the paper they're written on if you can't puli them off. And that's what this book is all about. Execution: The Discipline of Gettmg Thmgs Done is well written and gives sound, practical advice about how to make things happen. It is well worth the reading.' Ralph S. Larsen, Chairman and CEO, Johnson & Johnson 'For those managers who have struggled to make it happen, fix a problem, get it done - or otherwise transform winning strategies into genuine results - here's the missing medicine from two who know from long experience what works and what doesn't. Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan offer a compelling leadership prescription, and it comes down to realism, discipline, and above all, great execution.' Michael Useem, Professor of Management and Director of the Center for Leadership and Change, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania Vissza
