Summary

No implementation, and everything is empty talk! Addressing the current state and root causes of weak execution in enterprises, this book draws on corporate management processes and employees' actual work to propose concepts including the "first responsible person," the establishment of responsibility mechanisms, the development of execution-oriented employees, and systematic and procedural work. It offers a positive and useful reference for modern enterprises seeking to strengthen execution and respond to an increasingly severe competitive environment.

Editor's review

Written by Cheng Jie and drawing on his years of experience in management and training, Getting Tasks Done is a practical guide. Rather than floating in the thin air of abstract theory, it focuses on the crucial leap from "knowing" to "doing," systematically analyzing common obstacles and mental pitfalls in task execution while offering concrete strategies and methodologies. Its core value lies in moving beyond the simple slogan of "execution" to address goal breakdown, process control, feedback and adjustment, and mindset development, aiming to help readers build a sustainable, replicable personal task-management system. For readers who often find their plans flawless in theory but hard to carry out at work, or who face strong resistance when pushing tasks forward in team collaboration, this book provides a clear action map and thinking tools. Its language is plain, its cases are close to real work scenarios, and it is highly actionable. Note that the ideas and methods in the book require readers to internalize them in light of their own circumstances and practice them repeatedly before they truly become personal capabilities. Overall, this is a pragmatic guide dedicated to solving the "last mile" problem.

Not a good fit for
