2. JFK Speech to Congress“I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.”
3. JFK AT RICE UNIVERSITY“We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win…I realize that this is, in some measure, an act of faith and vision, for we do not know what benefits await us. But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several times more than have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision better than that of the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, and then returned it safely to earth, re-entering atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour, causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sun and do all this, and do it right, and do it first before this decade is out, then we must be bold.”
- President John F. Kennedy

Where it began…
21. Work Compass—Execution Tool
22. Four Disciplines of Execution#1: Focus on the Wildly Important
23. “After five years of research, I’m absolutely convinced that if we just focus our attention on the right things—and stop doing the senseless things that consume so much time and energy—we can create a powerful Flywheel Effect.”
Jim Collins
Good to Great
24. Execution Discipline #1: Focus on the Wildly ImportantIdentify 2 or 3 “MUST DO” goals
State them so that they are self-orienting and galvanizing
Gain line-of-sight understanding and commitment all the way to front-line
Align resources, recognition, and incentives to reinforce commitment
25. Four Disciplines of Execution#2: Build Measures that Motivate
26. #2: Build Measures that Motivate Once you reach a certain level, everyone is good, and everyone trains hard. The difference is who is more meticulous, willing to find the smallest increments of time, and as you get older and more experienced, the percentage gains grow smaller and smaller. You have to become a slave to data, to performance indicators like pedal cadence, and power output measured in watts. You have to measure literally every heartbeat, and every morsel you eat, down to each spoonful of cereal. If you weigh too little, you won’t have the physical resources to generate enough speed. If you weigh too much, your body is a burden. It is a matter of power to weight. Who knows when you might find a winning margin in a wind tunnel in December, during equipment testing? You might find another fraction of time in your position on the bike, or in a helmet, or in the composition of a wheel…because the smallest thing, like moving your hands on the handlebars, could make you three seconds slower over 25 miles.”

35. JFK Speech To Congress“I believe we possess all the resources and talents necessary. But the facts of the matter are that we have never made the national decisions or marshaled the national resources required for such leadership. We have never specified long-range goals on an urgent time schedule, or managed our resources and our time as to insure their fulfillment.”
36. JFK Speech to Congress“This decision demands a major national commitment of scientific and technical manpower, material and facilities, and the possibility of their diversion from other important activities where they are already thinly spread. It means a degree of dedication, organization, and discipline which have not always characterized our research and development efforts.”
