INTRODUCTION --- a leadership method for creating success (p1-9)


The "discipline of execution" = understanding HOW to link together people, strategy, and operations --- the THREE CORE PROCESSES of every business!

Leading these "processes" is the REAL JOB of running a business, which is NOT formulating a "vision" and leaving the work of carrying it out to others!

What is really required is being deeply and passionately engaged in leading robust dialogues about people, strategy and operations, which result in an organization based upon intellectual honesty and realism!
