"Executive summary" means this: corporate executives upwards of 20 reports per day, and all of them are really long (maybe 100+ pages). They don't have time to read all of each report. Therefore, they expect the BEGINNING of the report to be a brief, concise summary (hence the term "executive summary") of what the report is all about, including the important results/conclusions. If this "executive summary" is interesting enough or seems important enough, the "executive" might read further into the details.
Therefore, with your executive summary:
- be brief
- be concise
- be interesting
- make them want to read further.
