Capital Punishment: How Businesses Execute Their Own Success (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798184201672)

What if your business wasn't being destroyed by the economy... your competitors... or bad luck?

What if it was quietly executing itself?

Every year, thousands of businesses fail. Most owners blame the market, rising costs, changing technology, difficult employees, or fierce competition.

They are usually looking in the wrong direction.

In Capital Punishment, business consultant Skip Williams puts your company on trial in a unique courtroom drama unlike any business book you've read before. Through a series of "Counts," the prosecution presents the evidence against the real culprit: the everyday decisions that quietly drain cash, waste time, weaken leadership, and slowly execute even promising businesses.

But this isn't another book of business tips.

It's a book about stewardship.

You'll discover why:

• Revenue feeds the ego. Profit feeds the business.
• Capital has only one job: to return with abundance.
• Businesses don't fail because they don't know enough. They fail because they ignore what they already know.
• Success isn't about eliminating problems. It's about managing conflicting imperatives.
• Better thinking leads to better decisions, and better decisions compound.

Whether you're launching your first company, leading an established business, serving on a nonprofit board, or simply trying to become a better steward of the resources entrusted to you, the lessons extend far beyond business.

This isn't a book about getting rich.

It's a book about becoming worthy of whatever capital passes through your hands.

The verdict may surprise you.

The results may change the way you think forever.
