Since the publication of Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan's book "Execution" in the United States, "execution" has become one of the popular concepts in the business world, and there are many studies and books on execution and execution. However, the author always believes that putting aside the impact of these complicated concepts, combined with the actual situation through personal rational thinking, we can also grasp some characteristics of execution. In the subsequent work, after the baptism of practice and summarization, we continue to remove the false and keep the true, which can be regarded as a useful attempt.
1. Definition and analysis.
The definition of "execution" is queried through an electronic dictionary as: implementation; Implementation: Resolutely execute, execute orders, execute decisions, and execute superior instructions. Implement judgments, rulings, or administrative punishment decisions that have already taken legal effect in accordance with legal procedures. The enforcement of judgments and rulings in criminal cases is mandatory. After a judgment or ruling in a civil case takes legal effect, the parties must consciously perform it; If one party refuses to perform, the adjudicator shall hand it over to the executor for compulsory enforcement, and the opposing party may also apply to the court for enforcement. Obviously, this is the first meaning.
Yu Shiwei's definition in "Winning in Execution" is: "the ability to complete one's work and tasks according to quality and quantity".
According to this more popular expression, and the interpretation of the term "execution" is comprehensive, here we believe that the so-called executive power is the ability to perform and complete work and tasks.
According to this definition, the better implementation and implementation of the work need to have some basic capabilities, and the core elements of execution can be determined through the content of these basic capabilities. The following discussion revolves around the above definitions.
2. Identification and analysis of the elements of execution.
According to the above definition, first of all, executive power is defined as a kind of ability. After analyzing various cases and summarizing practical experience, the author believes that good execution has the following elements: the ability to analyze rationally; the ability to grasp the core issues; Ability to solve various unexpected problems; The ability to continuously improve.
1.Ability to analyze rationally. The ability to analyze rationally is essential for organizations and individuals. When accepting a job or task, it is necessary to analyze the job or task rationally, not just by personal experience.
2.the ability to grasp the core issues; In the work, we must be able to see the essence through the phenomenon and firmly grasp the core problem. Once the principles have been identified, efforts should be made to uphold them.
3.Ability to solve various unexpected problems; The environment is complex and changeable, and when the environment deviates from expectations, it is necessary to be sensitive to find out and solve it properly, so that things can develop in the established direction.
4.The ability to continuously improve. With the passage of time, technology, management concepts and management methods are changing with each passing day, and the ability to continuously improve is the key to efficient implementation.
3. Identification and analysis of the enforcement entity.
According to the differences in the implementation of the subject, it can be divided into three categories: individual execution, group execution, and organizational execution.
For individuals, Lieutenant Rowan in "Letter to Garcia" is a representative of perfect execution. A group, as defined in organizational behavior, is a group of two or more interacting and interdependent individuals in order to achieve a specific goal. Each department or even a work team is a group.
From the perspective of groups and organizations, execution is the ability of departments at all levels to put the goals and plans of the department or organization into practice.
Fourth, the implementation effect and execution of the analysis.
In management practice, it is easy to confuse the two concepts of execution effect and execution. Strong execution ≠ good execution effect.
First of all, the effectiveness of implementation is affected by external factors.
Secondly, from the perspective of individuals, executors can be divided into four types from the two dimensions of willingness and ability: first, ability and willingness; the second is ability and unwillingness; the third is the willingness and inability; Fourth, there is no will and no ability. The second type of person has strong execution, but the execution effect is sometimes not good. A similar situation exists for groups: if the goals of the organization conflict with those of the department, or if local interests conflict with those of the whole, the department may act in the interests of the small group and lead to poor implementation of plans or tasks.
Through the analysis of execution, we can clarify how to carry out execution management in the enterprise. There is no shortage of beautiful visions and grand strategic plans for enterprises, but the lack of execution management can easily lead to the failure of enterprises in the competition. Many enterprises are the key to the core competitiveness of enterprises, and it is urgent to carry out executive management within the enterprise.
