FORGE

The CEO Operating SystemBy Bill CanadyRecorded Track
Length5h 51m

About this audiobook

The company runs out of your head. That is the problem. Decisions queue outside one door. Good people spend long weeks on work nobody selected. The Board repeats its question every quarter, and the number sits still. Working harder will not fix it. Working harder is how it started. FORGE is the operating system Bill Canady installs to end that — five disciplines, in order, in about a hundred days: Focus, Objective, Roadmap, Govern and Execute. Every step is proved on one company, followed from Day Zero to its first monthly review, with the dates and the numbers shown. The book behind FORGE, the CEO operating program of The 80/20 Institute. Narrated by a digital replica of the author's voice.
