Today’s episode is all about execution, and more specifically what you need to do to give yourself the best odds of actually executing on the goals that you set for your organization.

There’s a well-known maxim that you might be familiar with that states “Strategy without execution is hallucination”, and in today’s audio blog I’ll share with you why I think that’s true. I’ll do so by sharing some of the lessons that I’ve learned over the years related to executing on the strategy you set. In my experience (and in the experience of countless others), strategy is actually the easy part: Almost any mediocre CEO can set logical and compelling goals for a company, but it’s the truly skilled CEO who adjusts her tools, systems and processes to regularly and successfully execute on those same goals.

As Jim Collins and Jerry Porras (authors of the seminal business book Built to Last) said: “Building a visionary company requires one percent vision and 99 percent alignment.” Today, I’ll share with you the best tools that I’m aware of to create that alignment.

I hope you enjoy!
