I think feature films sell on the idea, and I think TV works based almost entirely on execution. I don’t think anybody is going, ‘Wow, that show is executed poorly, but the idea is so cool I just have to keep watching.’
Sounding like a toned-down Sufjan Stevens – or an even more toned-down Arcade Fire – Seabear’s quiet execution gives its music a breezy quality. It’s a sonically lush whisper, sharing secrets with anyone curious enough to listen.
Death Row inmates are almost twice as expensive to house each year as other inmates. Death penalty trials are much costlier than trials where execution is not a potential punishment and consume more time from judges, public defenders, and other legal personnel.
I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution.
Copy, art, and typography should be seen as a living entity; each element integrally related, in harmony with the whole, and essential to the execution of an idea.
Young people are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for counsel; and more fit for new projects than for settled business.
Exceptional firms have always been good at aligning their mission or purpose with their execution and, as a result, have enjoyed category leadership in sales and profits.
The American attitude towards efficiency and execution should always underlie architecture.
I pretty quickly move from an idea to possibilities for execution. If there’s one advantage, I think, with working in television for even a short amount of time is trying to gain a faculty for processing a storyline or an idea and how to then best implement that and execute that as swiftly as possible.
I am a firm believe in the power of dreams, because the world is basically one giant realization of people’s collective dreams come true. We need to dream to aspire to do something that keeps us striving. But those dreams and ideas and wants mean nothing without execution, which doesn’t usually happen without a plan.
The execution of strategy is over to the captain and coach, as it always has been. It’s the right way to go. We need clear role allocations, the coach and the captain go and execute and my job is to plan for the future.
We have got to be more comfortable experimenting with different models. So maybe a client just needs execution people or a lot of young people who are great with social media. We don’t always have to give them the pyramidal structure of senior VP and account supervisor.
