Self-awareness gives you the capacity to learn from your mistakes as well as your successes. It enables you to keep growing.

At the end of the day you bet on people, not on strategies.

Execution is the ability to mesh strategy with reality, align people with goals, and achieve the promised results.

How people talk to each other absolutely determines how well the organization will function.

Execution is a systematic process of rigorously discussing hows and whats, tenaciously following through, and ensuring accountability.

I saw that leaders placed too much emphasis on what some call high level strategy, on intellectualizing and philosophizing, and not enough on implementation. People would agree on a project or initiative, and then nothing would come of it.

Execution is the job of the business leader.
