Six Disciplines Execution Revolution on the NYT Best Seller list!
Back in January I wrote a glowing post about Gary Harpst’s book, Execution Revolution. In that post I said “Never have I heard it explained so well” about how to take one’s business from “here” to “there.”
Well, Six Disciplines® Execution Revolution: Solving the One Business Problem That Makes Solving All Other Problems Easier
I said it back in January, and I’ll say it again: This book will definitely be on my recommended reading list for 2008 … so there’s no reason to wait — just pick up a copy now. Especially if you’ve ever struggled with maintaining a balance between creating strategy and executing it (and who hasn’t).
By way of full disclosure, Gary quotes me in the chapter on learning communities, noting that in many circles it’s socially unacceptable for a manager to attend a training class. But just because Gary quotes me doesn’t mean I can’t recommend the book — in fact, quite the opposite is true.
The bottom line is when it comes to executing your strategy, you won’t find it spelled out any better than how Gary explains it in this book.
Kudos to Gary and the Six Disciplines team. And hats off for making the NYT Best Seller list.

The company I work for generates reports out of the computer to do appraisals, but when I ask for the clarification on the percentages and how it was obtained; they will not tell me. I think I have a right to know to be understand the procedure. Do you agree? The percentages are used to do weekly, monthly, and yearly performance evaluations. The percentages are figured based on numbers like; X, Y, Z AND - Z. I want to know and see that calculation to see exactly what effects the numbers they become our end result.
