这本书提供了一套把事情做成的框架——它解释了目标常常未能实现的原因，并给出了一种结构，用来调动你的团队、把高绩效文化植入组织。书中借助现实世界的案例，阐释了四项准则：聚焦最重要的目标、依据引领性指标采取行动、坚持使用记分牌、接受问责。
This book provides a framework for getting things done – it explains the reasons why goals are often not achieved and provides a structure for engaging your team and embedding a high performance culture. The four disciplines of focussing on the most important goal, acting on the lead measure, keeping a scorecard and accepting accountability are explained with real world case studies.
