Overview/Description
In today's fast-paced, high tech world, change comes more rapidly than ever before. Businesses must be in a state of constant evolution and continuous improvement just to keep up. An organization's ability to execute is paramount to its survival. After all, how can a company be constantly evolving and improving if no one within the organization is getting anything done? In companies that execute well, the principles of business execution permeate the entire organization and become part of the company's culture. But how does an execution culture come to be? A business execution culture starts with an organization's leaders and trickles down to virtually every level of the company. This course contains powerful information to help you create an execution culture in your organization. Whether you're a senior manager or the manager of a small business unit, you can do your part to create an execution culture in your company.
One lesson explores the critical role leaders play in creating an execution culture. You'll learn about ways to turn your visions and ideas into actions. Do you have the right team in place to execute your ideas? You'll learn about assessing talent in both your existing team members and in potential new hires.

Once you have the right team in place and they are executing ideas and accomplishing great things, then what? You'll explore important information to help you lead your winning team.
Larry Bossidy, author of "Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done," states that "creating an execution culture is hard, but losing it is easy." Once you've created an execution culture, how will you keep from losing it? How can you ensure that business execution does not become just another "flavor of the month" fads that lasts a few months then disappears?
