Execution - The Discipline of getting things done GMR Group
This book was published in the year 2002 and I had read this book at that time. Revisited and read this book again just to evaluate the context. Even today the context of this book is very relevant.
Too many leaders fool themselves into thinking their companies are well run. They are like the parents in Garrison Keillor’s fictional Lake Wobegon, all of whom think their children are above average. Then the top performers at Lake Wobegon High school arrive at the University of Minnesota or Colgate or Princeton and find out they are average or even below average. Similarly , when corporate leaders start understanding how the GE’s and Emerson Electrics of this world are run- how superbly they get things done- they discover how far they have to go before they become World class in Execution.
Here is the fundamental problem: People think of execution as the tactical side of business, something leaders delegate while thy focus on the perceived “bigger” issues. This idea is completely wrong. Execution is not just tactics—it is a discipline and a system. It has to be built into a company’s strategy, its goals, and its culture. And the leader of the organization must be deeply engaged in it. He can delegate its substance.
We talk to many leaders who fall victim to the gap between promises they’ve made and results their organizations delivered. They frequently tell us they have a problem with accountability—people aren’t doing the things they’re supposed to do to implement a plan. They desperately want to make changes of some kind, but what do they need to change? They don’t know.
Execution is a specific set of behaviors and techniques that companies need to master in order to have competitive advantage.

Change happens to us every day.
As leaders, we need to know not only how to personally cope with change but also how to ensure that we lead our teams through the change, while all the time keeping them motivated and focused on success.
This Guide introduces Leaders to the foundations of leading through change; providing you with strategies for dealing with change personally, leading your team through the change as well as providing insights into managing the change itself.

Org Design is a core skill to be mastered by management for any successful org change.
Org Topologies™ in its essence is a two-dimensional space with 16 distinctive boxes - atomic organizational archetypes. That space helps you to plot your current operating model by positioning individuals, departments, and teams on the map. This will give a profound understanding of the performance of your value-creating organizational ecosystem.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Specific ServPoints should be tailored for restaurants in all food service segments. Your ServPoints should be the centerpiece of brand delivery training (guest service) and align with your brand position and marketing initiatives, especially in high-labor-cost conditions.

2. “Adaptive Leadership is the practice of mobilizing people to
tackle tough challenges and thrive.”
- The Practice of Adaptive Leadership ; Heifetz, Grashow & Linsky
What Is Adaptive Leadership?
3. Small business owners are often “putting out fires” and may
be prone to a more reactive or authoritative leadership style
89% of US businesses have 20 or fewer employees; of those
80-90% are family-owned* – familiarity can lead to role
confusion and assumptions regarding responsibilities
Many challenges are technical, and owners may be
unfamiliar with how to deal with the “fuzzier, squishier
problems” – especially with regards to employees/suppliers
How does it apply to Small Business Advising?

8. Much of this, we already do, but here are the applications:
Scope – understand what it is that they are needing from you
and map the systems
Diagnose – Find out the Presenting Issue(s)
Mobilize – take Action via coaching, providing resources, etc.
Evaluate – follow-up and determine Next Steps
Advisors as Adaptive Leaders
9. Form Gracious Space
Establish Team Norms
Invite the Stranger
Bring the Heat
Utilize the Balcony View
Key Elements of Adaptive Organizations
10. “Gracious Space” is an atmosphere of approachability and
mutual respect which invites collaboration
Establishing Group Norms creates buy-in and a framework for
when things get tough (more than just Policies and Procedures)
“Inviting the Stranger” encourages diverse opinions
Bringing the Heat needs to happen in a constructive way and
must be based in openness and trust
Help them to view their company “From the balcony”
i.e. working on the business vs. in the business
Teaching our Clients to be Adaptive Leaders
11. Small Business Owners are around longer – 25 years vs. 6
years for a corporate CEO – things can get stale
Managing Human resources is critical – leadership is a key
element in employee retention and satisfaction
Engaged employees are more productive
47% of small businesses have no succession plan – if your
employees are not engaged, who will take over/purchase
your business when you are ready to retire?
1.2 million US businesses are husband/wife teams
Why does this matter?
