Here’s a list of strategy execution quotes that can help you spice up your next presentation. I combined my favourite ones with some of the quotes I used in Strategy Execution Heroes.
“However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results” – Sir Winston Churchill
“Don’t measure your performance by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished within your capabilities”
“Strategy Execution is all about realising the full potential of your strategy – and not limiting yourself to only 50, 60 or 70 percent”
“Building a visionary company requires one percent vision and 99 percent alignment” – Jim Collins and Jerry Porras, Built to Last
“In a 4×100-metre relay race, one runner starts before the other, but in the end it’s the sum of the four runners that determines performance”
“Strategy Execution is the responsibility that makes or breaks executives” – Alan Branche and Sam Bodley-Scott, Implementation
“A strategy, even a great one, doesn’t implement itself”
