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 organization - and create a business based on dialogue and 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.
