Why you should read Executing Your Strategy

Mark Morgan, Raymond E. Levitt and William Malek, a team with academic and hands-on experience at strategy execution, go directly to the heart of getting things accomplished. As they observe, the business scene is littered with the ruins of strategies that looked good on paper but failed the test of execution. Such failures often happen because strategic thinkers neglect project leaders. The authors clearly identify three “strategy-making imperatives” and three “project leadership imperatives,” and explain how to implement them. They explain the pivotal need to align a project’s structural elements. getAbstract believes that this book, which is generally well-written and pointed, with minimal jargon, will be valuable to any strategist or project leader.
