The Art of Action

How Leaders Close the Gaps between Plans, Actions and Results

by Stephen Bungay

  • Why read?

    What do you want me to do? This question is the enduring management issue, a perennial problem that Stephen Bungay shows has an old solution that is counter-intuitive and yet common sense. The Art of Action is a thought-provoking and fresh look at how managers can turn planning into execution, and execution into results.
