Managing execution is the fundamental role of every supervisor and manager. But execution – making things happen exactly the way it’s supposed to – is the fundamental challenge facing every leader of every organization the world over. As to why execution is the great challenge that it is, the answer is simple: it takes people to make things happen. When humans are responsible for performing the work, there are always human performance challenges.

Try as some leaders might, there is no escaping reality: leading people well is essential to successful execution.

The Practice of Leadership teaches simple, powerful leadership practices that come from successful leaders who were great at managing execution. Participants learn proven management and leadership tools – “what to do” and “how to do that” – focused specifically on execution, that can be put into immediate practice. These leadership tools can spell the difference between success and failure at the point of execution. The workshop is taught by former senior managers with a proven track record of managing execution.
