Copy
We have got to be more comfortable experimenting with different models. So maybe a client just needs execution people or a lot of young people who are great with social media. We don't always have to give them the pyramidal structure of senior VP and account supervisor.Richard Edelman
Copy

Copy

Copy
The formula to beat the press is simple; it's the execution that's tough. If you have the quality to do so, you pass your way through it. And if you don't, you just boot it over the top. And then it becomes a game of winning 'second balls'.Carlo Ancelotti
Copy
If an ad campaign is built around a weak idea - or as is so often the case, no idea at all - I don't give a damn how good the execution is, it's going to fail.Morris Hite

Copy
I think having a great idea is vastly overrated. I know it sounds kind of crazy and counterintuitive. I don't think it matters what the idea is, almost. You need great execution.Felix Dennis
Copy
All too often, vital electronic evidence has been made unavailable through encryption that doesn't allow for execution of legal process including court-approved search warrants.Christopher A. Wray
Copy
In the rest of the world, rich people will give a donation, and businessmen give to charities. But in Mexico, the execution capacity of what we call the social sector is missing.

Copy
No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution.Niccolo Machiavelli
Copy
In America, when you bring an idea to market, you usually have several months before competition pops up, allowing you to capture significant market share. In China, you can have hundreds of competitors within the first hours of going live. Ideas are not important in China - execution is.Ma Huateng
Copy
Those who govern, having much business on their hands, do not generally like to take the trouble of considering and carrying into execution new projects. The best public measures are therefore seldom adopted from previous wisdom, but forced by the occasion.Benjamin Franklin

Guessing what the pitcher is going to throw is 80% of being a successful hitter. The other 20% is just execution.Hank Aaron
Copy
I guess I'm a good manager now. Moreover, I'm loving the concept of donning the producer's hat. It's all very exciting as well as a great learning experience. You're a part of a film right from its conception to its execution, and that's an amazing feeling.Malaika Arora Khan
Copy
Architects have created this fake separation between creation and execution. You can see it in architecture schools, where the students look down on going to contracts classes.Joshua Prince-Ramus
Copy

Copy
It is manifest that the only security against the tyranny of the government lies in forcible resistance to the execution of the injustice; because the injustice will certainly be executed, unless it be forcibly resisted.Lysander Spooner
Copy
I pretty quickly move from an idea to possibilities for execution. If there's one advantage, I think, with working in television for even a short amount of time is trying to gain a faculty for processing a storyline or an idea and how to then best implement that and execute that as swiftly as possible.James Spader
Copy
I've seen every idea. Ideas are irrelevant. You are judged on execution, and the number 1 way to prove that you can execute is by executing.Michael Seibel

Donald Beardslee is set for execution this week in California. His crimes were about twenty years ago, but it will be the first execution in California in quite some time.Catherine Crier
Copy
Excellence is the accumulation of hundreds of minute decisions; it is execution at the most granular level. Once you accept the idea that you should give in to things that make no sense because other people do those things and you want to appear reasonable, you are on a path towards mediocrity.Eva Moskowitz
Copy
Hitler had a police state of the first order. And those who showed any sign of being weak-kneed faced prison or often summary execution. That prevented a lot of people who knew that the war was not going to turn out well for Germany from giving up.Rick Atkinson

I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution.Ulysses S. Grant

Copy
Processes break in two ways. They break because they don't have the right checks and balances and because they don't have the right execution.Mark V. Hurd
Copy

Copy
There are really three parts to the creative process. First there is inspiration, then there is the execution, and finally there is the release.Eddie Van Halen
Copy
The essence of football was blocking, tackling, and execution based on timing, rhythm and deception.Knute Rockne
Copy
Ideas are 10 a penny. It's the execution that's the hard thing to do. House is standing up against a tide of sentiment and emotionalism over reason that threatens to engulf this world. When you think about it, a rationalist, a man of science and reason, is in a pretty lonely position.Hugh Laurie
Copy
Madonna would not have done a 360 deal with us just because of our touring capability. We had to prove to her and others that we have been working on and built a very good execution capacity at Artist Nation.Michael Rapino
