The Importance of Strategy Operations

• My job at Honeywell International these days is
  to restore the discipline of execution to a
  company that had lost it. Many people regard
  execution as detail work thats beneath the
  dignity of a business leader. Thats wrong. To
  the contrary, its a leaders most important
  job.
• Larry Bossidy, Chairman Honeywell
  International, Execution The Discipline of
  Getting Things Done
