Roadmap to Success

Put me in coach. I found it difficult to read this book sitting down. The authors provide motivation for any business leader to take action and execute. I wish to thank Mr. Bossidy and Mr. Charan for their compelling insights, supported by relevant examples.

There is no fat in this book. When you consider the backround of the authors, and the valuable information a reader walks away with, this book is a must read for any person seeking to win in business or life.

The Best

Literally one of the best business books ever written. The style is tight and clean, and the advice practical and accomplishment oriented.

Was Hoping For A Broader Approach To Getting Things Done

This book is worthwhile for Fortune 500 CEO types, but is less applicable to the average person trying to get the most of his or her day. When I picked up this book I was hoping that it addressed the everyday execution that small companies/law firms, etc struggle with in today's business world. But that is not the case. This book is from CEO types for CEO types with little useful information regarding the individual's struggle to get anything done in his or her hectic life. If that's what you're looking for, this is not the book for you. The book is not bad, it is just that few of us help operate large multinational public corporations in which much of the strategies suggested in this book relate to.

Execution the disciplie of getting things done

Got this book from the library, and after reviewing Ram's comments about J&J it was clear to me he did not know what he was talking about. Being Employed in the medical industy for 18 years I am well aware of this story. First he states that J&J developed the stent technology. They didn't develop squat, it was developed by Cordis, who was acquired in a hostile take over. I have also had the opportunity of meeting a retired engineer who worked a Cordis during the time of the takeover. According to my engineer friend they striped Cordis of all projects and replaced them with their own completely disrupting the product pipe line.

Last of all they did a wonderful Job of irritating every a great number of Doctors. Since the were the only ones with a stent at the time they saw no need to reduced the price of the stent no matter the size of the customer. The one doctor I talked to said even if someone could provide an equal stent at the same price they would buy it rather then J&J. No wonder they lost over 90% market share in less then a month.

In summary I find this as a case a shear stupidity and arrogance on the part of J&J and have a hard time seeing any relationship to execution.
It also compromises the authors credibility.
