While larger businesses have the luxury of budgets and resources to meet this challenge, it's the small and midsized businesses that now have a tremendous opportunity to level the playing field, leapfrog the expensive, outdated approaches of the past, and attack the challenge of execution in a revolutionary way. The key insights are:
Excellence is the enduring pursuit of balanced strategy and execution Planning and executing, while at the same time dealing with the inevitable surprises, is the biggest challenge in business Overcoming this challenge is what we mean by solving the one problem that makes all others easier Failing to solve the problem destines your organization to a reactive, fire-fighting future.
Based on breakthrough research, field testing and proven best-practices, the thought-leading vision described by Gary Harpst in Six Disciplines® Execution Revolution sets a new course for how small and midsized businesses can finally confront the never-ending challenge of executing strategy.
As a follow-up to the success of Six Disciplines for Excellence, Harpst's new book, Six Disciplines® Execution Revolution, details the elements of a complete strategy execution program, clarifies how it could only have happened now, and explains why such a program will soon become a mainstream requirement for your business.

Harpst spends more than half the book explaining "what needs" to be done and what kind of goals should be sought. It's the kind of "strategy planning" that you get out of hundreds of business books. Ho hum. I was looking for an action list or a chart to show exactly the best way to execute a strategic plan. You know, how to get something done and measure the results.
If you're looking for the same then read Chapter 9. I wish the whole book had been just a big fat Chapter 9. I'm sure Executive Business Coaches are important to the holistic approach in building a great business, but points like that are made too often in this book. Whereas, Chapter 9 (and part of 10) really list out how to do it and what to look out for. (
