execution

For the execution of the voyage to the Indies, I did not make use of intelligence, mathematics or maps.

A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.

Simplicity is the friend of execution

There must be a punitive expedition against the Jews in Russia, a punitive expedition which will expect: death sentence and execution. Then the world will see the end of the Jews is also the end of Bolshevism.

The obvious objections to the execution of Saddam Hussein are valid and well aired. His death will provoke violent strife between Sunni and Shia Muslims, and between Iraqis in general and the American occupation forces.

I respect the Japanese and especially like their execution and communication styles. Unlike the Koreans, they will not hit you from behind.

No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution.

I got hold of a copy of the video that showed how Saddam Hussein had actually confirmed himself in power. This snuff-movie opens with a plenary session of the Ba'ath Party central committee: perhaps a hundred men. Suddenly the doors are locked and Saddam, in the chair, announces a special session. Into the room is dragged an obviously broken man, who begins to emit a robotic confession of treason and subversion, that he sobs has been instigated by Syrian and other agents. As the (literally) extorted confession unfolds, names begin to be named. Once a fellow-conspirator is identified, guards come to his seat and haul him from the room. The reclining Saddam, meanwhile, lights a large cigar and contentedly scans his dossiers. The sickness of fear in the room is such that men begin to crack up and weep, rising to their feet to shout hysterical praise, even love, for the leader. Inexorably, though, the cull continues, and faces and bodies go slack as their owners are pinioned and led away. When it is over, about half the committee members are left, moaning with relief and heaving with ardent love for the boss. (In an accompanying sequel, which I have not seen, they were apparently required to go into the yard outside and shoot the other half, thus sealing the pact with Saddam. I am not sure that even Beria or Himmler would have had the nerve and ingenuity and cruelty to come up with that.)

Every successful venture is based on an unoriginal idea, beautifully executed.

Oh, mankind, race of crocodiles! How well I recognize you down there, and how worthy you are of yourselves!

I do as I please, Monsieur Beauchamp, and believe me, what I do is always well done.

Strategy and execution represent the two sides of one and the same thing.

The success of strategy management undoubtedly lies in the __imely execution.

Any place you compromise in principle you will execute in performance.

A powerful process automatically takes care of progress, productivity and profits.

Most of the people readily accept the principle but resist its practice.

The physiological effects of an electrocution are severe and painful. Besides launching the body into violent convulsions, the electrocution of a human being causes massive destruction throughout the body.

Organizations are not designed for innovation. Quite the contrary, they are designed for ongoing operations.
