The Paradox of Leadership: Delegate to Achieve ...

As leaders, we often carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. We're the ones with the vision, the ones who steer the ship. But here's the secret: the most effective leaders aren't control freaks, they're delegation champions.

Do You Have a Vivid Vision?

Do You Have a Vivid Vision?

As we enter 2018 and all the promise a fresh year brings, it’s the perfect time for leaders to develop their company’s Vivid Vision.

 

What’s a Vivid Vision?  Cameron Herold, the former COO of 1-800-Got-Junk who increased revenues from $2 million to $105 million in 6 years, describes it in his book Double Double.  It’s painting a picture of what your business will look, feel and act like three years down the road. It’s not about how you will get there with defined goals and metrics — we’ll save that for the strategic planning sessions with your leadership team. It’s imagining where you want your company to be in three years.  To communicate this picture, you’ll need to envision success and provide ample details, using expressive language. 

Four Steps To Creating a Culture of Accountability

Four Steps To Creating a Culture of Accountability

One of the biggest — and most common — pitfalls in business is a lack of accountability. You can have a rock-solid strategic plan with clear areas of responsibility and measurable metrics, but if you don’t hold each other accountable, you won’t reach your goals.

The good news: It’s a relatively easy fix if you’re not afraid to say “the buck stops here”, “you can’t blame others” or “it’s your issue.”

Building Your High-Performance Team

What’s the greatest differentiator when it comes to achieving your company’s ambitious growth goals? There’s no question: It’s a tightly aligned, high-performing leadership team. You can have the most eloquent vision statement and a well thought-out strategic plan to back it up, but if you don’t have a strong team to execute, you won’t reach your goals.

Steve Jobs said, “Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.” I couldn’t agree more.

Who’s ready to hit the ground running in 2018?

Are you going to reach your 2017 growth targets? Were you and your team focused on all the right actions this year to meet your goals? Did you stick to your plan? Was it really a plan or just a long to-do list?

The 4th Quarter of 2017 is fast approaching. What does success look like in 2018? 20% annual growth, 10% increase in margins, 2 times cash flow, double the number of “A” player employees, record number of customer acquisitions and retention and additional new markets and products/services? What can you do now to set yourself up to achieve those goals in 2018.
