"Discovering Execution - The Key to High Performance Organizations" by Miles Kierson and Gary Tomlinson is the definitive book on discovering execution. It can be said that every individual and every organization executes, and whether it is done well or not so well makes all the difference in terms of the outcome. Everything you do that is purposeful takes execution. It takes execution to create a strategy. It takes execution to implement a strategy. It takes execution to do all of the day-to-day activities one does in their organization. Execution includes planning, engaging the organization, and implementing. It's all execution. But here's the dilemma. If all we do is execute, then why don't we really focus on our ability to be good at it? Why doesn't every single leader have execution as the number one skill to excel in? More importantly, when are we going to "discover" execution? Consider what it would be like in your organization if you had a real competency in execution. Not just that you were okay at it, but that you were great at it. What would there be to gain? The answer is everything. Who wouldn't want their organization to have a competency in execution? Most executives and managers want something that takes execution to accomplish - they want to increase sales, they want to reduce errors in manufacturing, they want to get lean, they want to maximize profits, etc. You can get better at anything if you learn to get better at execution. By getting better at execution, you'll be better at executing more sales, higher production, less waste, stronger financials, etc. Getting better at execution is the solution to getting better at everything. By discovering execution, you'll be in the forefront of what is becoming more and more a revolutionary trend in business. The Age of Execution is upon us and the journey is still a "road less taken," but one that will benefit the journeyers for the rest of their lives. The ability to execute is the most valuable personal and organizational competency you can have. You're Invited!
