Executing good strategies

I find that in many organisations, there are people who dream, who have a wonderful shining vision for the organisation. And then there are the doers, who will go along to events and meetings and are happy to fill the rosters, but who do not glow with the vision. One of the greatest challenges of an organisation is to link the two. Basically a matter of communication and delegation I would think. But a more detailed answer lies in this article by Lawrence G. Hrebiniak. While the title, Three Reasons Why Good Strategies Fail: Execution, Execution... is a teaser, that's all it is, because the answer lies in far more detail. YOu can read it at the Wharton site.
