Fastbreak: The CEO's Guide to Strategy Execution

A unique synthesis of how-to, philosophy, principles of effective leadership,
and case-study examples to help the CEO and business leader improve their
organization's ability to deliver on their strategy and business promises.

FASTBREAK is filled with breakthrough thinking that is practical and
applicable in any industry and any organization, private or public.
This is clearly a book for the CEO and business leader. As Childress
states "strategy is a contact sport", and from my experience
successful strategy execution requires consistent dedication to detail,
communication and a willingness to modify as conditions warrant. You will
find it all in this highly useful book.

This book is the best synthesis on strategy execution I have read.
It gives the CEO a sure-fire process to effectively engage the executive
team in executing the strategic intent including principles, templates,
examples, and most importantly, tips to avoid costly mistakes.

While a turnaround is one of the most challenging and stressful of business
situations, it is also one of the most rewarding to see good people take
control of their business again and create a sustainable future. The principles
described in FASTBREAK: The CEO's Guide to Strategy Execution are
solid and sound, as is the advice, processes and templates. A complete
synthesis for the CEO.
