This book explains, in simple and straightforward terms, that the
executive summary is not just short, it is concise; it is not just
condensed, it is 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 will not do; anything
longer wastes time.
