Aggression !! Is it the key to success ?

The seven habits as described by S R Covey don't mention aggression as the key ! However I do !

I have seen my bosses in my first job. They are aggressive ! They know the meaning of execution !
When it comes to projects, the result comes when you erect a plant, successfully commission it.

Designing is simple- though complicated. Thing of importance is that you need to think ! Your show is your performance.

Execution is difficult- It is getting the things done from others- vendors, contractors, workers, etc etc

Your show is other's performance.

It kills you when you see the things moving out of your hands, when there is no control on time
that passes and quality that suffers !

There is lot of doing and redoing !

Things simply cant be done rightly in the first place !

To have control on all these things- what you require is called aggression.

Good read is execution by By Regine Azurin

You’ve got the bright ideas and the smart people, and the market is just ready for you. But why hasn’t your business taken off as you predicted? Maybe the problem is in your execution. What does it really take to get a business going? You need the right people combined with realistic strategies to create effective operating procedures. Let Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan tell you how.
A business leader’s most important job is the execution of plans, the “detail work,” making sure that the staff is getting results. This is the sort of responsibility that cannot be delegated. It is the leader’s primary duty to see that every member of the team is carrying out his part of the big plan to ensure the whole company’s success. There are no excuses for failure: the market will always be tough. What spells the difference between successes and failures is the ability to execute plans.
Too often, too much intellectualizing and philosophy occurs at the planning level. The leaders are busy with their dreams and plans for success but there is little focus on implementation, thus the promised result is not delivered. The emphasis on execution as an integral part of the business process has not received enough attention in terms of accumulated knowledge and literature.
