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 some companies are successful and others not. The result is the book people in business need today. Leaders who create execution cultures focus on five key items: 1. They pick specific priorities for their businesses and set clear timetables for achieving them. 2. They assign the projects to the right people and groups - those whom they know can execute them. 3. They set milestones and conduct hard-nosed interim reviews. 4. They measure their peoples' performance according to the outcome of the projects, including the interim targets. 5. They link everything, from the original priorities to the milestone and performance measurements, to external information that reflects marketplace realities.

À une heure tardive, un P.-D.G. était assis a son bureau, l'air complètement lessivé. Il avait un interlocuteur, auquel il aurait voulu expliquer pourquoi son excellente stratégie avait échoué. Mais il ignorait où se trouvait la faille. C'est trop rageant, disait-il, voila un an que j'ai monté ce groupe, en prenant des gens de chaque département. Nous avons eu deux réunions au complet, nous avons fait des analyses comparatives, les évaluations étaient bonnes. McKinsey nous a aidés. Tout le monde était d'accord sur ce plan. Il était bon, et le marché était favorable. Pourtant, la fin de l'exercice est arrivée et nous n'avions pas rempli nos objectifs. Ils m'ont lâché ; ils n'ont pas fourni les résultats prévus. Au cours des neuf derniers mois, j'ai diminué a quatre reprises nos prévisions de recettes. Nous avons perdu notre crédibilité en Bourse. Et moi, j'ai probablement perdu toute crédibilité auprès de mon conseil d'administration, je ne sais pas quoi faire, et j'ignore a quel point la situation peut s'aggraver. Ça ne m'étonnerait pas qu'ils me virent. Quelques semaines plus tard, il était effectivement viré. Dans ce best-seller présent de nombreuses semaines dans les meilleures ventes de Publishers Weekly et du New York Times L. Bossidy et R. Charan révèlent les erreurs commises par ce dirigeant. Si vous voulez devenir patron - ou si vous l'êtes déja, et que vous voulez conserver votre job - lisez ce livre et n'attendez pas pour mettre en pratique ses enseignements !

One of the most influential and successful business books of our time, fully updated to address our current financial crisis.When Execution was first published in 2002, it changed the way we did our jobs. By analysing the discipline of execution, it helped thousands of business people to make the final leap to success by focusing on actually getting things done. In 2011, Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan reframe their empowering message for a world in which the old rules have been shattered, where radical change is becoming routine, the ability to execute is more important than ever before, and for the foreseeable future:Growth will be slower. But the company that executes well will have the confidence, speed and resources to move fast as new opportunities emerge.Competition will be fiercer, with companies searching for any possible advantage in every area.Governments will take on new roles in their national economies. And companies that execute well will be more attractive as partners and suppliers and better prepared to adapt to new waves of regulation.Risk management will become a top priority for every leader. And every company will be looking for the edge in detecting new internal and external threats.Forget formulating a ''vision'' then leaving others to carry it out - Execution shows you how to link together people, strategy and operations, the three core elements of every organisation, so that you can create a business based on dialogue, intellectual honesty and realism.With case histories from the real world - including recent examples such as the diverging paths taken by Jamie Dimon at JPMorgan Chase and Charles Prince at Citigroup - Execution provides the realistic and hard-nosed approach to business success that could only come from authors as accomplished and insightful as Bossidy and Charan.
