		<description><![CDATA[I’m striking a blow this week against Boss-Blame…that world class sport that so many engage in as part of rationalizing why their own results might just be falling short of something resembling excellence.  It's time to engender a new sense of personal and professional accountability in the workplace. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Strategy execution is where value is created.  The best plans are worthless unless they are backed by a group of people that understand their roles and accountabilities and that have the information they need when they need for rapid decision-making.  Execution never takes place in a straight line and without setbacks.  In fact, the setbacks are powerful learning experiences that a good team will leverage as it adapts and responds to internal and external factors.

A large part of the solution in my opinion is treating execution like a high-order program comprised of a series of projects to be managed.  Ask a good Project Manager how to successfully pull of an execution program and I suspect they won't need to interview 1,000 companies.
