The Execution Gap: Why Great Ideas Often Fail
Why do brilliant companies with visionary leaders and cutting-edge products still fail? The answer lies not in flawed strategies but in something far more fundamental: execution. Since its publication in 2002, "Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done" by Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan has become the definitive guide to closing this critical gap. Even Warren Buffett keeps it on his recommended reading list, and Jack Welch called it "the most important book you'll read as a leader." Consider the cautionary tale of Compaq under CEO Eckhard Pfeiffer in the late 1990s. Despite an ambitious vision to dominate the PC market, the company faltered against Dell's execution-focused approach. While Compaq's strategy seemed sound on paper, Dell's build-to-order system wasn't merely a marketing tactic - it was a comprehensive business model that allowed them to turn inventory 80 times annually (versus competitors' 10-20 times), maintain negative working capital, and deliver technological improvements faster than rivals. The execution gap isn't just theoretical - in 2000 alone, 40 CEOs from Fortune's top 200 companies lost their jobs not because they lacked vision, but because they couldn't translate that vision into results.
