- DECIDE,
- the method
Part I diagnoses. Part II says what you own. Part III is the method, one chapter per letter of DECIDE. Part IV is the institution.
Part I Why It Keeps Failing
Three failures that look like execution problems and are not. Part I diagnoses, and it ends on the decision nobody is making.
Part II What Leaders Must Own
What a resource is, why it is finite, and what a leader cannot delegate. Nothing yet about how.
Part III The Discipline: DECIDE
The method, one verb at a time. Six verbs for making a decision hold across six scarce resources.
Part IV The Enterprise That Moves
The institution, not the steps: the design, the machinery, the multiplier and the destination.
