"Today's managers and administrators of corporations, companies and government offices depend on executive summaries to save themselves time and money. That's because a good executive summary immediately allows the reader to make the right decision at the right time and to delegate responsibility appropriately. |

As the authors of this book explain in simple and straightforward terms, the executive summary isn't just short, it's concise; and it isn't just condensed, it's exact. The reader of a well-written executive summary is able to act instantly and responsibly on the basis of the relevant, accurate and time-efficient information it encapsulates. The message of this book is clear: anything short of precision won't do; anything longer wastes time. |
