 The 4 Disciplines of Execution (Revised Edition): The Secret to Getting Things Done, On Time, With Excellence $15.95 This audio learning program is just a waste of time and money for listeners. Stephen R. Covey is only the co-star in the program by which Franklin Covey should make this clear to consumers upfront. The main presenter is disjointed and distracted, like he had too much coffee.....  Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done $35.10 Larry Bossidy is one of the world's most acclaimed CEOs, with a track record for delivering results that has few peers. Ram Charan is a legendary advisor to senior executives and boards of directors, with unparalleled insight into why some companies are successful and others not. The result is the book people in business need today. Leaders who create execution cultures focus on five key items: 1. They pick specific priorities for their businesses and set clear timetables for achieving them. 2. They assign the projects to the right people and groups - those whom they know can execute them. 3. They set milestones and conduct hard-nosed interim reviews. 4. They measure their peoples' performance according to the outcome of the projects, including the interim targets. 5. They link everything, from the original priorities to the milestone and performance measurements, to external information that reflects marketplace realities.
