Great Quality

The book was cheap and on perfect conditions. It arrived on time and there were no problems, the whole transaction went smooth as It should be. Can't go wrong with this one.

Very valuable practical advice

This book takes practical advice to a new level above the obvious and not going into abstracts without making it executable! I love this book.

Contains no information

Reviewed on 6/5/09 at 10:48 AM.

This book reads like an extremely long blog entry. It's not a terrible read, but if you're looking for a book that contains ideas to improve your management skills or the overall management environment, this is not your book. The book spends its entire tenure describing WHY execution is important but never delves into HOW to improve execution in an organization.

Execution

Reviewed on 6/5/09 at 10:48 AM.

This book is a life time tresaure for all those managers who want to excel in their respective areas of expertize. It gives some very useful practical examples of challenges faced by various senior executives in MNC's all around the world. Ram Charan and Larry Bossidy have added on to my knowledge on how best I could execute in my day to day decision making. Especially with the challenges I face while handling different types of people, internal and external customers in the running of a huge five star hotel that I oversee as a department head.

Absolutely brilliant. Highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant. Getting things done is much harder than saying it. Leaders can only "execute" by managing three essential elements and linking them together - people, strategy, and operations. Without strong infrastructure and connectivity of these three elements organizations fail to do what they say they will. In other words, they fail to execute. Highly recommended.
