Perfect Professional Magazine - January - March 2013

In this issue

Execution excellence does not refer to simple tactics, but to a discipline for meshing strategy with reality, aligning people with goals, and achieving the promised results. This involves getting things done through
Planning, questioning, analysis and follow-through. As managers progress in their careers and lead teams, they not only need to excel in individual execution, but also champion execution excellence in their respective teams as well.

Perfect Professional dedicates this issue to execution excellence, acknowledging it as the bridge between aspirations and results. Readers can experience the ‘Edge’ with the experiences we bring you in execution across sectors.

We start with a simple tool to help you assess your Execution Quotient and share with you what Execution focused managers and leaders do. This is followed by 6 insights on how individuals and champion teams win consistently, through predictable and superior execution. We have also shared with you insights on execution excellence from Japanese Management and Lean Management. Our journey goes on to the floriculture industry to give you a different perspective of execution. Moving to the construction terrain we then take you to the pioneers of project execution in India-L&T. In our face to face section, you get to meet the founder of Parkman, who articulates the ingredients of her success story. Closely following her story is the “40 day magic”- an interview with Prof. Pillai on his brilliant and persistent approach to setting up a B school.

The Wellbeing section of our magazine draws your attention to ways to balance the space available in life while another article focuses on effective anger management. The section on People Practices identifies behavioral markers to spot a disengaged team member and to take preventive Measures.

Giving an edge to your performance is what this issue “The Execution Edge” attempts to highlight and we hope your takeaway is for real.
