Success is a function of strategy and execution. If strategy is to do with the head, execution is to do with the heart of inspiring people in their organization to go above and beyond every single day to do the very best that they can, and then a little bit more to execute the collective agenda of the enterprise. I have the right people working on the right things, the right way. That is the roadmap for superior execution. So it all starts with the people. Culture is that special feeling that you create through a common language. So you have to be, as a leader, define what those values are and then express them in a way that they can be understood by using common language.
