This Execution Went Well
by Daisy Maryles -- Publishers Weekly, 7/1/2002
Larry Bossidy, chairman of Honeywell International, and business author Ram Charan (What the CEO Wants You to Know) are adept at turning strategy into reality. Their new bestseller, Execution, the Discipline of Getting Things Done, talks about bridging the gap between goals and results. They are succeeding in their goal of hitting the national bestseller charts; within three weeks of publication, the book lands on our nonfiction list. The book's launch included a major feature in the May 26 New York Times Sunday business section and a first serial in the June 10 issue of Fortune. Demand has been so strong that the book has gone back to press seven times, bringing the in-print number to 110,000. More features in general and business publications are still to come, and Crown Business is already bragging that this could be the #1 management book of 2002.
