Introduction
I was raised up believing I was somehow unique
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes, unique in each way you can see
And now after some thinking, I'd say I'd rather be
A functioning cog in some great machinery serving something beyond me

This is not a slacker manifesto.
This is not a book for bridge designers or brain surgeons
This is also not a book for people who want to move to Spain to become a bullfighter
This is a book for those of us in Corporate America who want to devote more time in their day to doing what they want to do.
Let’s face it, most of us are in the business of doing, not thinking. Yet almost all of the business books written are on strategy, not execution. I’m always perplexed how strategy books can be so popular, given that for every executive (who is responsible for strategy), there are hundreds or thousands of workers (who are responsible for execution). Furthermore, the few books that claim to be about execution are really strategy books in disguise. Take these authors’ bios from a popular book supposedly on execution:
Larry Bossidy is one of the world’s most acclaimed CEOs, a man with few peers who has a track record for delivering results. Ram Charan is a legendary advisor to senior executives and boards of directors, a man with unparalleled insight into why some companies are successful and others are not. Together they’ve pooled their knowledge and experience into the one book on how to close the gap between results promised and results delivered that people in business need today.
How well do you think your experience and daily job corresponds to these guys’?
If you would describe yourself as having few peers
or being legendary,
I’m pretty sure your job is pretty distant from actually executing anything.
