Background to this program:
What is the one thing that separates businesses, companies and individuals that succeed, deliver on their promises and exceed expectations, from those who fail? What is the secret ingredient that separates the winning companies from the also-rans? A company may have the best resources in the world - a hardworking team, a clever CEO, a sound strategy, a strong vision - and yet fail to reach the expectations of shareholders and the market. When a company fails to deliver, senior executives, employees, alliance partners, shareholders and customers all lose out. Often, it's the CEO who takes the fall.
In the year 2000 alone, forty chief executives of top Fortune 500 companies were sacked or forced to resign. When 20 percent of the most powerful business leaders in America lose their jobs, something is clearly very wrong.
This is the story of the biggest problem facing companies today. Every day in the media we see reports of companies like AT&T, British Airways, Motorola and Xerox - Companies that have everything going for them - talented people, enormous resources, inspiring vision - and yet fail to deliver on their commitments. What is the difference between those companies, and companies like GE, Wal-Mart and Colgate Palmolive, which keeps living up to their promises, year after year.
All the strategy in the world can't save the company that does not know how to execute. Without the discipline of execution, leadership is hollow, strategies break down, companies fail to live up to their potential and promises are broken. All the best resources in the world go to waste. For a company to deliver on its commitments consistently, leaders at all levels need to be committed to execution. It must be a part of your strategies, goals and culture.
Execution is the missing link between aspirations and reality. It's the single discipline that makes all the difference in the world.
As a business leader, execution is your secret weapon. We will help you develop this major strategic skill.
