Leading Strategy Execution
This richly illustrated book is for anyone who has a dream and wishes to fulfill it, but whose aspirations require the support of others. Most approaches to strategy implementation fail because strategy is created at one level (the top) and handed off to another (the middle and bottom). Consequently, everyone is frustrated. To improve strategy implementation, you have to do what we call "The Four Jobs of Strategy Execution" and involve employees in creating and carrying out the strategy. ContentsExecution is EverythingChange or DieThe Human Side of StrategyWinning Minds (Job One)Winning Hearts (Job Two)Aligning Local Effort (Job Three)Designing Your Organization (Job Four) Strategy MapsRight People, Right Place, Doing the Right ThingsAligning the Senior Team HR's Role in Strategy ExecutionLeading Strategy Execution
