DESCRIPTION:
Imagine an organization where every team—from senior leadership to the front line—is focused on the most important priorities and committed to achieving the Wildly Important Goals.FranklinCovey has studied the topic of execution for several years in thousands of teams and in hundreds of organizations. People and teams don't keep score. People and teams are not held accountable. Few can tell at any moment if they are on track to achieve the organization's critical goals.4. The goals are not translated into day-to-day activities.3. People and teams don't know the goals. In addition, keeping teams engaged and focused on the top goals is critical. People and teams don't know what to do to achieve the goals. Our research shows that execution breaks down in four ways:1.

Excellent methodology, but redundant and Kindle version is very self-promotional This is an exceptional book that can be best summarized in one sentence: "Start with the end in mind." The book addresses how to get a team to focus on ultimate goals and work backwards. As a strategy consultant, I definitely found the book to be a solid read because it takes away much of the daily minutiae that consultants and leaders often get tripped up by (what the authors term the "whirlwind").Positives:Although I already implement many of the methods outlined in the book in my work, I found that the book sum. Great short principle-based self-help! I'm starting to notice that I'm collecting quite a bit of self-help from Covey. I play this audiobook during shorter drives, I like Chris' energy during the recording, keeps your self awake and engage on the conversation. Contents-wise, as always the way Covey has done in his other materials it's very much principles-based approach, something that would be generally applicable in situations and doesn't age. I highly recommend for people approaching or at the beginning of their mid-level managing careers --- not to. S. M. McMillion said Fix the Whirlwind and Avoid the Workaround. Interesting focus on execution. I really liked the idea of the whirlwind and how it can suck the life out of the most important efforts without the discipline to stay focused. It's always a leader's duty and responsibility to set clear priorities and keep people focused on them. The leader must also work hard to clear the decks for action on those priorities. This is where many leaders fall short in that they don't set the conditions for success.The main problem with the Fix the Whirlwind and Avoid the Workaround S. M.
