Executives rarely make a distinction between the day-to-day work rush (the whirlwind of urgent business) and strategic goals, since both are vital to the normal operation of the company. However, these concepts are fundamentally different and, more importantly, they compete for time, resources, energy and attention. If the leader and his team work only in an emergency mode, progress will not be achieved - all the forces will be spent on staying afloat. The book offers a proven set of practices that have been tried by hundreds of organizations and thousands of teams around the world. The essence of the "four disciplines of execution" is quite simple, but they will radically change the way you approach the implementation of goals and allow you to put into practice tried and tested techniques that have proven their effectiveness over and over again.
