Features: The launch of the Chinese edition of Execution marks the 12th foreign language version of the book since its publication. In the United States alone, the book has sold over 300,000 copies and has received widespread acclaim, being listed on bestseller lists such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Business Week. The theme of the book is about how to achieve goals. For any business leader, his true task should be leading the three major processes—people, strategy, and operations—not simply setting so-called "visionary goals" and then handing over the task of achieving them to others. In the book, Bossidy and Charan tell us the importance of leaders deeply engaging in the practical operations of the company, as well as why internal dialogue about people, strategy, and operations within the company is so crucial. "A business story about how to translate strategy into corporate operations, told by a great practitioner and an outstanding theorist"—Jack Welch "If you want to become a CEO, or if you are already a CEO and want to keep your job, I recommend you read this book and apply its principles to your actual work"—Mike Dell (President and CEO of Dell Computer) In the past 20 years, China's economy has undergone tremendous changes. Market-oriented reforms over the recent 20 years have driven China's economy to near double-digit growth and have led to rapid development in both urban and rural areas of the country. This is an extraordinary achievement, especially considering that it was accomplished in a very short time, and China has every right to be proud of it. However, the challenges ahead remain very severe. Maintaining such a high growth rate itself demands greater attention to execution at the ground level.
