Excerpt from Short-Hand Execution: Applicable to Any System of Stenography for the Purpose of Multiplying Speed and Enhancing Legibility The value of a work is nit necessarily proportioned to the number of its pages. On the contrary, if a given amount of information is embraced in ten pages, it is more easily obtained than when distributed through one hundred. With this view, the author has labored assiduously, in the preparation of this work, to discard everything extraneous, and give, in as concise a form as possible, the essential matter, which might more easily have been extended through many pages. The important consideration with the stenographer is, with a given degree of legibility, how much speed can be realized. And any abridgment that does not conflict with that end should add rather than detract from the value of a work. Of the various expedients set forth, it is hardly to be expected that any one writer will make use of them all. But any part can be selected that the stenographer chooses to apply, as they are all separate and distinct from each other.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than two million copies in print! The premier resource for how to deliver results in an uncertain world, whether you’re running an entire company or in your first management job. “A must-read for anyone who cares about business.”—The New York Times When Execution was first published, it changed the way we did our jobs by focusing on the critical importance of “the discipline of execution”: the ability to make the final leap to success by actually getting things done. Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan now reframe their empowering message for a world in which the old rules have been shattered, radical change is becoming routine, and the ability to execute is more important than ever. Now and for the foreseeable future: • Growth will be slower. But the company that executes well will have the confidence, speed, and resources to move fast as new opportunities emerge. • Competition will be fiercer, with companies searching for any possible advantage in every area from products and technologies to location and management. • Governments will take on new roles in their national economies, some as partners to business, others imposing constraints. Companies that execute well will be more attractive to government entities as partners and suppliers and better prepared to adapt to a new wave of regulation. • Risk management will become a top priority for every leader. Execution gives you an edge in detecting new internal and external threats and in weathering crises that can never be fully predicted. Execution shows how to link together people, strategy, and operations, the three core processes of every business. Leading these processes is the real job of running a business, not formulating a “vision” and leaving the work of carrying it out to others. Bossidy and Charan show the importance of being deeply and passionately engaged in an organization and why robust dialogues about people, strategy, and operations result in a business based on intellectual honesty and realism. With paradigmatic case histories from the real world—including examples like the diverging paths taken by Jamie Dimon at JPMorgan Chase and Charles Prince at Citigroup—Execution provides the realistic and hard-nosed approach to business success that could come only from authors as accomplished and insightful as Bossidy and Charan.
