Success Books - "Flawless Execution"
What does it take to succeed in business, or any worthy goal? Many of the qualities we need are similar to those required by a fighter pilot: meticulous planning, never-ending learning, strong belief in yourself, strong self-preservation instincts, and, of course, burning desire to win. James Murphy’s “Flawless Execution” is a book about success at the “highest” level: the practices and procedures of fighter pilots, but make no mistake: their methods are paradigms of the methods that can bring success in any field.
The basic concepts of a “future picture”, “mission plan”, and the all-important “brief/execute/debrief/win” cycle can be ported to other areas besides fighter missions. How many of us “debrief” after a particularly bad (or good!) day? How many of us actually concentrate on “lessons learned” in order to make each day better than the last?
Perhaps we don’t consider our daily “missions” as critical as those of a military mission. But...how much do we really want to succeed? Is our “gut feel” not cutting it? Do we make the same mistakes over and over? Do we even know if we are making the same mistakes over and over? Do we even know if we are making any progress at all?
Read “Flawless Execution” and find out.
