The discipline of getting things done
--by Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan
While many business gurus have focused their
attention in the past 10 years on Strategy, the authors here

Lucent. The key message is that execution should be based on three
essential building blocks: the leader's behaviours, organization's
culture and people's skills. Please read our Business Snapshot
