“Execution isn’t something others should worry about while you are doing something far more important”
Managers are the most important players in the execution contest. In fact, strategy remains a paper exercise without managers taking the right actions and fulfilling their roles. They contribute content, are the links between organisational levels, and act as performance role models.
And this requires the right attitude. Each manager should:
- Acknowledge the importance of Strategy Execution.
- Understand what Strategy Execution is all about.
- See execution as an essential part of being a leader.
- Know how to maximise their crucial role in the whole process.
- Develop the necessary Strategy Execution skills.
On top of that, senior managers need to put the necessary processes in place to ensure that all managers in the organisation become execution heroes. This is a challenge in itself.
