    About this ebook

    What separates the master from the apprentice, the craftsman from the amateur, a Winner from the loser, or an exceptional performance from an average effort? The answer is often explained in one word: execution.

    Around the world, the word execution has broad meaning encompassing every action people undertake. The problem is, nobody has explained what behaviors when actually executing help maximize success. Until now, we were left to the school of hard knocks to figure out how to execute well.

    Mr. Walton brings a unique insight to improving individual results by identifying a set of simple innate behaviors that if developed will increase ones ability to execute in every situation. The reader will learn to define execution in a new way, and learn how simple behaviors performed consistently and well result in greater success.

    John Walton

    John Walton began his professional career as a software-development engineer with a bachelor of science degree from the University of Utah in computer science. Following graduation, he climbed both the technical and management ladder at several of the world’s top technology companies. In 2001 John earned project manager professional certification and, with the exception of a brief period operating his own consulting company, has been working in program and project-management roles for various consulting and contract organizations. During his career, John contributed to and helped direct the development of multiple technologies that have had a positive influence in the quality of people’s lives throughout the world in areas of health care, defense, aerospace, financial services, banking, energy, communication, and semiconductor design. Over the last fifteen years, he has shared his expertise by helping several small start-ups as well as large multinational organizations eliminate wasteful practices and become more efficient in their day to day operations. John’s interest in achieving more efficient and effective execution began while working in program and project management. It was while reviewing project performance and reflecting on past experiences that he first began identifying fundamental behaviors that separated individuals who execute with an average level of effectiveness from those people who were truly exceptional performers. This specific contribution to the topic of execution is based on his independent research coupled with thirty-five years of personal observations and first-hand experience managing people and activities. Outside of his career, John has coached young women’s softball in the local community’s league, and has worked extensively in the Boy Scouts of America organization over a period of several decades serving at the local unit level as a Scoutmaster and in the district as an Assistant District Commissioner. Mr. Walton currently lives in Northern Utah with his wife. They have six children.
