Based on my experience with companies over the last few years
Ruthless Execution is a very timely book. Amir Hartman provides business leaders with a concise and well-reasoned set of guidelines to get  their companies through performance down-turns and prepared to exploit an economic recovery. |

Loud and clear! Hartman effectively demonstrates what business practices work in tough times, and in my opinion these are practices that should be part of the business leader's DNA. |

In today's tough business environment, a new leadership paradigm
is emerging–a call to action that compels today's leaders to take stock, face reality, act quickly and implement ruthlessly. Leaders today must be proactive, ambitious, focused and, above all, personally accountable. I applaud Hartman's book for tackling this issue head on. Ruthless Execution is a must read for leaders in all industries. |

A powerful book. Hartman does not let you off the hook until
you think about where your business stands and what change is needed to revitalize the organization. |

Waiting is not a strategy. In this powerful and practical book,
based on shoulder-to-shoulder experience with business leaders who've been there, Hartman outlines concrete plans for getting beyond planning to "ruthless execution." He's done the practice of management a great service: frameworks for thinking, checklists, a step-by-step approach. A must read for all of us navigating today's turbulent markets. |
