內容簡介
   The book that shows how to get the job done and deliver results . . . whether you're running an entire company or in your first management job
 
 Larry Bossidy is one of the world's most acclaimed CEOs, a man with few peers who has a track record for delivering results. Ram Charan is a legendary advisor to senior executives and boards of directors, a man with unparalleled insight into why some companies are successful and others are not. Together they've pooled their knowledge and experience into the one book on how to close the gap between results promised and results delivered that people in business need today.
 
 After a long, stellar career with General Electric, Larry Bossidy transformed AlliedSignal into one of the world's most admired companies and was named CEO of the year in 1998 by Chief Executive magazine. Accomplishments such as 31 consecutive quarters of earnings-per-share growth of 13 percent or more didn't just happen; they resulted from the consistent practice of 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, not formulating a "vision" and leaving the work of carrying it out to others. Bossidy and Charan show the importance of being deeply and passionately engaged in an organization and why robust dialogues about people, strategy, and operations result in a business based on intellectual honesty and realism.
 
 The leader's most important job—selecting and appraising people—is one that should never be delegated. As a CEO, Larry Bossidy personally makes the calls to check references for key hires. Why? With the right people in the right jobs, there's a leadership gene pool that conceives and selects strategies that can be executed. People then work together to create a strategy building block by building block, a strategy in sync with the realities of the marketplace, the economy, and the competition. Once the right people and strategy are in place, they are then linked to an operating process that results in the implementation of specific programs and actions and that assigns accountability. This kind of effective operating process goes way beyond the typical budget exercise that looks into a rearview mirror to set its goals. It puts reality behind the numbers and is where the rubber meets the road. 
 
 Putting an execution culture in place is hard, but losing it is easy. In July 2001 Larry Bossidy was asked by the board of directors of Honeywell International (it had merged with AlliedSignal) to return and get the company back on track. He's been putting the ideas he writes about in Execution to work in real time.     作者簡介

					卓越的執行力:駕馭復雜性,實現宏偉目標  在當今瞬息萬變、競爭日益激烈的商業環境中,僅僅擁有遠大的願景和精妙的戰略已遠遠不夠。從概念到現實的鴻溝,往往橫亙在無數組織和個人麵前。這本書深入剖析瞭驅動成功與平庸的根本差異——執行力。它不是一本關於如何製定策略的理論手冊,而是為那些渴望將雄心壯誌轉化為可衡量成果的實乾傢們量身定製的行動指南。  本書的核心論點是:執行力並非企業文化中被動接受的“美德”,而是一套需要被係統地構建、積極地管理和嚴格遵守的紀律。它要求領導者和團隊成員在日常運營中展現齣一種近乎偏執的專注度,確保每一個環節都與最終戰略目標緊密對齊。我們將探討那些看似無法逾越的障礙——信息過載、目標模糊、責任分散——並提供實用且經過時間檢驗的框架來剋服它們。   第一部分:執行力的基石——思維模式的重塑  執行力的缺失往往源於深層次的思維定式。成功的組織首先在思想上就具備瞭“完成任務”的基因。  1. 戰略的“可執行性”測試: 許多戰略在白闆上光芒萬丈,卻在落地時如沙堡般坍塌。本書強調,製定戰略的初始階段,就必須引入“執行者視角”。我們會詳細介紹如何審視一個戰略計劃,判斷其在資源分配、人員能力和時間限製下,是否具備內在的可行性。這包括對關鍵假設的嚴格檢驗,以及對潛在瓶頸的提前識彆。  2. 責任與問責製的文化重塑: 模糊的責任是執行力的頭號殺手。我們深入探討瞭如何構建一個透明、無推諉的問責框架。這不僅僅是設立績效指標(KPIs),更重要的是建立一種文化氛圍,讓坦誠反饋成為常態,讓延誤和失誤能夠被及時發現並解決,而不是被掩蓋。本書提供瞭一套“從高層到基層”的責任傳遞模型,確保每項任務都有明確的“主人”。  3. 目標聚焦的藝術: 現代企業麵臨的最大誘惑是“做所有事”。然而,執行力的本質是不做那些不重要的事情。我們將引導讀者識彆並果斷放棄那些低迴報、高消耗的活動。通過引入“關鍵成果指標(KRIs)”的篩選機製,確保組織所有的精力都集中在少數幾個能夠産生顛覆性影響的領域上。   第二部分:構建執行的引擎——流程與係統的力量  卓越的執行力並非依賴少數超級英雄,而是依賴於強大的、可復製的係統和流程。本書提供瞭一套清晰的藍圖,用於設計和優化這些係統。  4. 資源對齊的科學: 資源(時間、預算、人纔)是執行的血液。執行不力的主要原因之一是資源分配與戰略優先級脫節。我們提供瞭一種“自上而下”的資源審查方法,確保每一個投入的資源單位都直接服務於最高優先級的目標。這涉及到如何進行動態預算調整,以及如何在項目衝突發生時做齣艱難但必要的取捨。  5. 跨職能協作的障礙清除: 組織中的“竪井效應”極大地阻礙瞭信息的流動和決策的執行。本書詳細闡述瞭打破部門壁壘的實用技巧,重點在於建立共享的成功定義和共同的激勵機製。我們將介紹“項目化”管理思維在日常運營中的應用,確保不同團隊間的交接流程順暢無縫。  6. 決策速度與質量的平衡: 緩慢的決策是執行的“慢性毒藥”。本書提供瞭一個決策成熟度模型,幫助管理者判斷何時需要完美的數據(耗費時間),何時需要“足夠好”的信息(快速行動)。我們探討瞭如何授權,將決策權下放給最接近信息源的層級,從而極大地提升反應速度,同時通過清晰的“決策清單”來控製風險。   第三部分:執行力的持續優化——反饋、衡量與迭代  執行力不是一個終點,而是一個持續改進的循環。成功的關鍵在於如何高效地從執行中學習。  7. 衡量執行的真實指標: 許多組織陷入瞭“活動計量陷阱”(衡量做瞭多少事),而非“結果計量”(衡量實現瞭多少價值)。本書指導讀者如何設計一套能夠揭示執行效率的指標體係,特彆關注那些領先指標(Leading Indicators)——預示未來結果的早期信號。  8. 結構化的執行審查會議: 我們摒棄瞭冗長、低效的例行會議,轉而推崇高效、數據驅動的“執行審查”機製。這包括如何準備會議材料、如何引導討論聚焦於解決障礙而非指責,以及如何確保每次會議都能産生清晰、可跟進的行動項。  9. 組織韌性與應變: 計劃趕不上變化是常態。本書最後一部分探討瞭如何在既定執行框架內保持靈活性。我們教授如何建立“預案思維”,提前模擬最壞情況,並預先準備好應對方案。這種結構化的應變能力,是確保在市場劇變中仍能保持前進動力的關鍵。  本書旨在為讀者提供一套全麵的、可立即應用的工具箱,幫助他們從“知道該做什麼”的階段,躍升到“持續、高效地完成任務”的境界。它要求領導者放下空談,擁抱紀律,將執行視為一種可以精通的、區分平庸與卓越的核心競爭力。
