Editorial Reviews

Review

"The 4 Disciplines of Execution offers more than theories for making strategic organizational change. The authors explain not only the 'what' but also 'how' effective execution is achieved. They share numerous examples of companies that have done just that, not once, but over and over again. This is a book that every leader should read!"

-- "Clayton Christensen, New York Times bestselling author"

Chris has personally led many of the most noted implementations of the 4 Disciplines, including the State of Georgia, Marriott International, Shaw Industries, Ritz Carlton, Kroger, Coca Cola, Comcast, Frito Lay, Lockheed Martin and Gaylord Entertainment. This practical experience has enabled him to test and refine the principles contained in the 4 Disciplines of Execution from the boardrooms to the front line of these, and many other organizations.

Covey and has continued over two decades to include roles as a Consultant, Managing Director, and General Manager within the organization. Chris launched the first 4 Disciplines of Execution Practice in the Southeast Region of Franklin Covey and today has seen it expand around the globe.

Great book. I believe the value to your company (as you read this) is all in the commitment to teaching it to the team, and ensuring follow through in implementation. I suspect most companies would require a consultant.

This book has both reinforced and shaped how I view the process and results of driving the most important lever for impact.

Highly recommend to all business leaders and performance driven individuals.

Nice bump beyond the excellent first edition... just two issues

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

I loved the first book and feel the second edition is a worthy bump of insight, focus, weight and new information. Bravo.

The only bone I have to pick is that as of the time of this review (May5, 2021) the links to resources... at least for me, don't go to the promised resources. Big integrity break for all concerned. Perhaps they just need another read of The 4 Disciplines of Execution second edition...?

The other issue is that the 4DXOS smart phone app is only available if you hire their consultants. They seem to miss the fact that for a book published in 2012 and ranking as the #1 Business Bestseller according to the Wall Street Journal that there are tens of thousands of practitioners out there that just want to get on with it with the help of the application and don't actually have time to go through the consulting deal. If they want to drive word-of-mouth make the application available for a solid price and that will drive there consulting business to a level that this approach can never touch... IMHO.

Still, a great book for which I am very grateful.

Ao contrário de tantos livros, não fala só o que precisa ser feito mas COMO fazê-lo. E isso faz TODA a diferença. É uma saudável diferença entre esse livro e (infelizmente) a maioria dos livros de negócios. Aprenda a gerenciar equipes de forma a perseguirem juntos melhores resultados... para a satisfação de todos.
