6. Why Execution is Needed
Execution is a discipline, and integral part to strategy - No worthwhile
strategy can be planned without taking it into account the organization’s
ability to execute it
Execution is the major job of the business leader - Execution requires a
comprehensive understanding of a business, its people and its environment
and the leader is only person in a position to achieve that understanding
Execution must be a core element of an organization’s culture - Execution
has to be embedded in the reward systems and in the norms of behavior that
everyone practices.

10. Building Block Two:
Creating Execution
The basic premise is simple: Culture Culture
change gets real when your aim is
execution.
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.
First, you tell people clearly ;
what results you’re looking for.
Then discuss how to get those results, as a
key element of the coaching process.

11. Building Block Two:
Creating Execution
Culture
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!

The leaders may not know enough about the
people they’re appointing.
• ②Lack of courage:
The leaders may not have the courage to
discriminate strong and weak performers and take
the necessary actions.
• ③The psychological comfort factor:
The leaders may pick people with whom they’re
comfortable (psychological comfort), rather than
others who have better skills for the job
