David Allen's landmark book Getting Things Done (GTD) has enjoyed  bestseller status and a, let's say um.... devoted following since it's release. Allen has expanded on those concepts in his most recent offering, Making It All Work.

Allen's focus in both books is to enable individuals to capture, organize, manage and execute all of the priorities and commitments in their life, whether at work or at home. I personally have found his process invaluable over the 10-odd years I've been using it. (I was introduced to Allen's work in 1998 via a tape set he released several years prior to the release of the GTD book).

Also released in 2002 was a book entitled  "Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done" by Ram Charan and Larry Bossidy. While Allen's books centre around how individuals get things done, Bossidy and Charan's book tackle the question of how organizations can deliver on their strategy. A highly readable book and a valuable addition to any business leader's library. In the meantime I've attached a MindMap Summary of Execution below. Enjoy!
