Presents the fundamentals of business, but speaks directly to the employee instead of the owner.

Charan does a great job summarizing the fundamentals of business into 4 building blocks: customers, cash generation, return on invested capital, and profitable growth. For a typical employee who has never stopped to think beyond his/her role, this is a great intro

However, beyond a rudimentary understanding of business, I'm not sure this is enough to change employee mindset or help them apply it in real life. Charan did include several chapters to talk about execution and real-world application, but I found those way too vague and theoretical to be truly useful.

So, this is probably a nice reference for anyone who's never really thought hard about their company or business in general. And since it's relatively small and easy to read, it's not intimidating at all to refer to employees. Just not convinced it will really change behaviors in the real world.

What it covers:
• The 4 fundamental building blocks for any business, regardless of the size, type or industry: customers, cash generation, return on invested capital, and growth;
• How to combine the 4 building blocks to see the full picture of how an organization is doing; and
• How to apply these insights in real life to cut through real-world complexities, generate wealth for shareholders, achieve superior execution, and expand the company’s capacity.

This book promotes common sense: stepping out of the center of the activity and asking questions about what you are really doing, really trying to accomplish in your business. It offers some practical and easy enough instructions on how to accomplish this. The overarching concept can be carried into your personal life - setting long term, short term goals and figuring out just how you wish to conduct yourself.

The building blocks and the core process described in this book are still very valid concepts - and will be as long as there are free enterprise companies. The ideas are somewhat 'dreamy' in the real world because in true capitalism the workers are expendable and as our national culture drifts further and further away from a work ethic, workers see no problem is trashing the company they work for. Nevertheless, the book's points are valid and will work if applied.

At my volunteer job I put my hands on old book on Execution subject. Now I am reading this focus business book. Helps managers to socialize with team to get results.
