    About this ebook

    The must-read summary of Amir Hartman's book: "Ruthless Execution: What Business Leaders Do When Their Companies Hit the Wall".

    This complete summary of the ideas from Amir Hartman's book "Ruthless Execution" shows that every business, no matter how successful, eventually hits difficulties. When this happens, most businesses choose one of two strategies: trusting that hype will gloss over problems or savage layoffs combined with massive, unpopular cost cutting. In his book, the author suggests a third way that ensures long-term profit and growth, as well as refocusing the business in the short term. Ruthless execution has three key features: leadership, governance and critical capabilities. This summary explains how simple measures in each of these key areas can make a considerable change.

    Added-value of this summary:
    • Save time
    • Understand key concepts
    • Expand your knowledge

    To learn more, read "Ruthless Execution" and find out how to steer your business through difficult times.

      1. Leadership: Recalibrate your strategies

      2. Governance: Recalibrate your rules

      3. Critical Capabilities: Recalibrate your business

      Book Abstract

      MAIN IDEA

      Sooner or later, every growing business enterprise hits the wall – where growth peters out because of unfavorable economic conditions, the bad decisions of yesterday, ineffective execution, lack of innovation, missed market opportunities or other reasons. In the past, hitting the wall could mean major problems or even bankruptcy. Today, however, business leaders can use these reversals to their own advantage as an opportunity to revitalize and refocus their efforts moving forward.

Invariably, companies are going to get into trouble from time to time,
