How
People
In my humble opinion, business starts and stops with people and teamwork.
An organization's team members are truly their greatest and most critical asset. It's also what I'm most passionate about; serving others and helping them achieve success and their full potential. Identifying and leveraging an individual's core talents, strengths and passions helps them and the organization achieve success beyond measure; with purpose and meaning.
Additionally, providing clarity regarding the role the team member specifically plays in helping drive the MVP, Values and the organization's plans is a catalyst for their empowerment, commitment, enthusiasm, passion, retention, impact and success.
Planning
Ready. Aim. Fire. Plan your work and work your plan. Regardless of the saying, putting a plan in place will get everyone pointed in the same direction (e.g. the individual, department/team and the organization). Development and socialization of 3-5 years plans, annual plans, 90-day rolling action plans, team/department plans and individual plans will help cultivate a culture of team work, transparency and accountability.
Execution
- The right people are playing in position and are committed to the team.
- Plans are defined, aligned and communicated.
- Execution is paramount.
Without execution, the plan is simply words on paper. Execution is about making progress. Making progress day-in and day-out will lead to positive change and momentum in 1-10-30-60-90 days and transformational results in 180-365 days. To quote a friend of mine, "Dominate the Day!"
People. Planning. AND Execution; the trifecta of business transformation.
