Published in 2002 by Crown Currency and a #1 New York Times bestseller with more than two million copies in print, Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done by Larry Bossidy, Ram Charan, and Charles Burck makes a forceful case that bridging the gap between strategy and results — not vision-setting alone — is the true work of leadership, and it remains one of the most widely cited business books of the past two decades.
