Execution.

Whether you are leading a committee or company, you're probably trying to get

people to do something different,

but no significant result will be achieved unless you can get them to

change their behavior.

The 4 Disciplines of Execution offers proven practices to help leaders execute

strategies that require a lasting change in other peoples' behavior.

The fundamental problem with execution, the authors tell us, is the whirlwind - the

day-to-day work that's full of urgencies that consume all your time and energy

forcing you to postpone working on your strategies for the future.

The 4 Disciplines are rules to help you execute your most critical strategy

in the midst of your whirlwind.

They must be implemented as a process with intact teams and by the leader.

They're principles of focused leverage, engagement, and accountability that will

take real commitment to install into an organization's operation and culture.

The 4 Disciplines of Execution is well-organized, carefully detailed, and

can be immediately helpful to any leader.
