Execution is the job of the business leader.

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

People tend to look at their businesses from the inside out - that is, they get so focused on making and selling their products that they lose awareness of the needs and buying behaviors of their customers.

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.

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.

If you don't have the best people you hurt everyone.
