Execution is the combination of simple tools, defined processes, especially meetings, and a great leadership mindset
Tools
What tools will you use to ensure your Objectives and Key Results remain a priority? A number of elements of this emerge from the Thought Leaders on Lean and Enterprise Excellence. Tools include Visual boards, dashboards, cockpits. Use of graphs, flags and traffic lights.
Process
Patrick Lencioni in his great book “Death by Meetings” emphasises the importance of meetings to create alignment, but each type of meeting has a clear purpose. In each meeting we have “Flow” - talking about the right things at the right time with the right people taking ownership. Triggers need to be defined in advance to celebrate success and to escalate problems.
Mindset
Alan Mullaly, the great turnaround CEO at Ford Motor Company captured the concept of “Joyful Accountability” - The idea of someone willingly taking on a challenge. Gino Wickman in Traction talks about “GWC” - The person Gets the role, Wants to do it and Can do it. (Only the last one can be addresses by training)
