Execution is the final quality that Brady and Woodward include in the Trilateral Leadership Ledger's factor of Tasks.
The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines Execution as: the act or process of executing.
The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines Execute as: to do.
And it is that simple... effective leadership requires action, you have to do it! You can have the best plan in the world but if you don't execute it, you have nothing!
Effective leaders will develop an implementation plan and then execute it. That is, they will do it!
Even with the other qualities of the TASK factor (acceptance of responsibility, work ethic, availability, willingness to invest time, tenacity, and perseverance), a lack of execution means nothing gets done and a leader's effectiveness is zero.
So, as the old Nike slogan advised, Just Do It!
