of a business, its people and its environment – and
the leader is only person in a position to achieve that
understanding
Only the leader can make execution happen, through
his/her deep personal involvement in the substance
and even the details of execution

Building Block OneBuilding Block One::
The Leader’s SevenThe Leader’s Seven
1. Know Your People and Business.1. Know Your People and Business.
Leaders have to live their business. In companies
that don’t execute, the leaders are usually out of
touch with the day-to-day realities

2. Insist on Realism2. Insist on Realism
• Realism is the heart of execution, but many
organizations are full of people who are trying to avoid
or shade reality
• Start by being realistic yourself. Then make sure
realism is the goal of all dialogues in the organization

3. Set Clear Goals and Priorities3. Set Clear Goals and Priorities
• Leaders who execute focus on a very few clear
priorities that everyone can grasp
• Focusing on three of four priorities will produce the
best results for the resources at hand

4. Follow Through4. Follow Through
• Clear, simple goals don’t mean much if nobody
takes them seriously
• The failure to follow through is widespread in
business, and a major cause of poor execution

5. Reward the Doers5. Reward the Doers
• If you want people to produce specific results, you
reward them accordingly.
• This fact seem so obvious, yet many corporation do
such a poor job of linking rewards to performance
that there’s little correlation at all

6. Expand People’s Capabilities via Coaching6. Expand People’s Capabilities via Coaching
• As a leader, you’ve acquired a lot of knowledge and
experience – even wisdom – along the way. Your job is
passing it on the next generation of leaders.
• This is how you expand the capabilities of everyone else
in your organization, collectively and individually.

7. Know Yourself7. Know Yourself
Without emotional fortitude, you can’t be honest
with yourself, deal honestly with business and
organizational realities, or give people forthright
assessments.

Building Block Two:Building Block Two:
Creating ExecutionCreating Execution
CultureCulture
The basic premise
is simple:
Culture change
gets real when your
aim is execution.

CultureCulture
You don’t need a lot of
complex theory or
employee surveys to
use this approach.
You just need to
change people’s
behavior so that they
produce results.

CultureCulture
First, you tell people clearly
what results you’re looking for.

CultureCulture
Then discuss how to get those
results, as a key element of the
coaching process.

CultureCulture
Then you reward people for producing the
results. If they come up short, you provide
additional coaching, withdraw rewards, give
other jobs, or let them go.
When you do these things consistently,
you create a culture of getting things
done!

Why the Right
People Aren’t in
the Right Jobs?

• The leaders may not know enough
about the people they’re
appointing
• The leaders may pick people with
whom they’re comfortable
(psychological comfort), rather
than others who have better skills
for the job
• The leaders may not have the
courage to discriminate strong and
weak performers and take the
necessary actions.

The leaders aren’t
personally committed to
the people process and
deeply engaged in it !!

The execution-
oriented leader
devoted an
inordinate amount of
time and emotional
energy to hiring,
providing the right
experiences for, and
developing leaders.
