Delivering Results
Delivering Results the Right Way is what marks a legendary leader.
Results are the milemarkers of the greatest leadership success stories in business today. Donald Trump, Russell Simmons, Jack Welch, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and many more. Each is a portrait of sustained competitive advantage fueled by an unswerving commitment to execute, implement and deliver results. But they have gone further, leading in such a way that delivering results the right way allows them to build something beyond themselves, and create a legacy of enduring leadership through others.
Stakeholders and boardrooms continue to be seduced by high-profile, high-promise CEO's and leadership teams that are brilliant at strategy and tackling "big issues” yet are dismayed when an inability to turn ideas and plans into reality forces a continuous cycle of employee transition, executive turnover and erratic change. Nothing could be more lethal to the people, productivity,and profit of an organization.
Implementation, execution and delivering of results the right way are a leader's number one charge.
Successful implementation depends on a leader's ability to create a strong sense of purpose and commitment at all levels within the organization. The leader must ensure a relentless focus on the important corporate priorities that will contribute to drive strategic goals and must seek to eliminate distractions: there is a great tendency with many people to confuse 'busy-ness' with effectiveness.
Your people are the key to the successful execution of your business strategies.
A critical component of business success is having the very best people. Jack Welch says that “if your Human Resources director isn't the person sitting beside you at a leadership conference, you're an idiot.” People are the key to successful execution of the business strategies. They represent the real value of the business. They hold the key to “sustained competitive advantage.”
Success, then, also depends fundamentally upon a leader's ability to measure and monitor performance progress accurately and quickly - and on measurement of the right results. Simple results will not do; you need inspired, quantifiable results that flow from the hearts of leaders in ways that engage the minds and spirits of other people in their charge. True leaders encourage people to fulfill objectives and achieve goals as well as sponsoring the effort to enrich individuals, teams, and entire departments.
Everyone talks about culture, but if you don't operationalize it then it doesn't happen.
Culture is not enough. Leaders must drive execution, but you have to drill down further and say what are the various processes in the company that converge to create the culture. Which of these processes are working and which are not? What is working to deliver profitability, what is not working? Then how do you improve those processes that are not delivering results--what is your execution methodology...your leadership action plan?
