Execution Leaks: The Five Hidden Ways Good Companies Lose Their Best Work

Product Description

Strategies don’t fail. Execution does.Good companies don’t lose their best work to bad luck or bad people. They lose it to leaks. The decision that sits too long. The meeting that replaces the decision. The handoff that drops the context. The problem nobody surfaces. The lesson nobody keeps.You’ve seen these before. You’ve also tried to fix them, with new tools, new processes, and one more reorg, only to watch them come back. That return is the part that wears leaders down, and it’s the part this book explains.Execution Leaks names the five hidden places where good work quietly drains away, shows why each one survives every fix you throw at it, and points to the one thing those fixes keep missing: ownership. You can’t fix what nobody owns.Drawing on thirty years inside companies of every size, from enterprises spanning three continents to teams racing past their first thousand people, Bayo Akinola-Odusola gives executives and founders a clear, practical way to see where execution breaks, name who owns each break, and stop the drain.If your plans are sound and your people are capable but the results still slip, the problem isn’t your strategy. It’s a leak.This book shows you how to find it.
