Chapter from: "The Leadership Code: Five Rules to Lead By"
Published by: Harvard Business Publishing
Published in: 2008

Abstract

Execution is the ability to turn what we know into what we do. As a leader, your ability to execute will enable you to turn strategic aspirations into actions, desires into results, and desired futures into present reality. Leaders who execute connect the present to the future, focus on linking the short term to the long term, manage their time, engage others, and ensure accountability and consequences for delivering on time. These leaders accept responsibility for what needs to happen, do what needs to be done, and develop a convincing track record of delivering results. In short, they follow the five fundamental execution disciplines outlined in this chapter. This chapter is excerpted from ‘The Leadership Code: Five Rules to Lead By'.
