Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done by Ram Charan, Larry Bossidy
3.0
Some strong points. Nothing too novel but a decent reiteration of what seems like slightly outdated leadership advice. Employees matter, focus on results, get into the weeds and really worked understand what it’s like on the ground floor. This is generally geared towards a sort of multi conglomerate of the 70s through early 2000s where there was a very hierarchical leadership structure.
Not sure about their love of all things Jack Welch. Welsh rode a wave of financial innovations at GE that made the company a lot of money but is now responsible for where it is today. His short term view handicap many of the robust features and the toxic environment that he created is not something I think should be celebrated, this undermines the authors credibility‘s and makes me wary of their conclusions.
it’s a little dense for a quick read but probably a valuable one if you’re working in the corporate world that a company is more than maybe 1000 people.
