The under-appreciated importance of Execution

I came across this nice piece on Execution the other day and since I've recently been writing about the very subject I thought I'd share the link. The author makes some very interesting points about the common aversion of many executives to execution as a tactical matter that is beneath them, and shares thoughts from Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan's excellent book, Execution- The Discipline of Getting Things Done. It's a short but well worthwhile read.
