Leadership is a joy when you have clarity and know where you are going in the next 3-5 years. Once you know where you’re going and you have your strategy to get there, it is time to determine the factors that are most important in the next short season. Getting the one thing that is most important and establish goals to set your GPS in that desired direction.

As a leader, it is your job to prioritize what matters most through thoughtful collaboration with your leadership team. You want their full participation and buy-in since they will be helping lead the charge. Once your leadership team is clear, now they can communicate "what matters most" to your team. This becomes your rally cry aka your Thematic Goal (thank you Table Group and Patrick Lencioni).

This podcast pertains to having effective meetings around these very important topics to set appropriate goals, and priorities, so your organization knows, What Matters Most!

This concludes our Clarity Changes Everything season and we share the quote that we started with here to inspire you to lead with clarity.
“Companies that enjoy enduring success have core values and a core purpose that remains fixed while their business strategies and practices endlessly adapt to a changing world.
To create an effective envisioned future requires a certain level of unreasonable confidence and commitment.”
- Jim Collins/Jerry Porras, ‘Building your Company’s Vision'

So, what is a strategic plan? It’s the approach you take to accomplish your vision.  If your target is synonymous with your vision, and you want to hit that target, you must decide on a strategy that will enable you to be successful in hitting that target. One of the main reasons most businesses don’t reach their potential is either a lack of clear vision or a lack of strategic planning in order to successfully reach that vision.

Some organizations vision may be a Big Hairy Audacious Goal the BHAG. These goals may seem extreme, but they keep you striving. Whatever the vision you must have a strategic plan to get there. If you don’t plan you won’t get there.

In my dental practice I had a BHAG for a vision. I had observed that some of my patients kept having dental problems every time they came in to see me. I realized that maybe I could do something different in order to help them have better check ups. This led to identifying my ideal patient and how I could get other patients to join them. Simply put my vision is to keep my patients out of my treatment room.  This may sound like a bad business model but to me it makes sense. First, I care about my patients and I want better oral health for them.

So, in order to move the bus toward the BHAG you need to have a strategic plan. This Podcast is a simple way of understanding why your organizations vision is so important and it must accompany a plan to hit the target you set your sights on.

The previous Podcast dealt with vision and where you want to take your organization.  The best strategic decision to realize your vision is investing in the right people. 

Some business metaphors makes sense and Scott and Shandel use Jim Collins example of “the bus” to describe getting the right people into your company. 

The bus is heading somewhere. The future destination for your organization is what you envision. It takes vision to remain relevant in this fast-changing market. The bus ride to your future will be realized by the quality of the people you’ve invited on the bus. Without the right people, you won’t be able to experience the culture you always dreamed of. 

Without the right people, you won’t be able to get the map out and plot destination points to measure your success. Because your success will be measured by the amount of delight you experience enjoying the ride. So, invite the right people and you'll have the best ride ever. Everything else will take care of itself as long as you have the right people, and they’re in the right seat.

Vision is the number one key accountability for any top leader. The job of the CEO, and business owner, and that includes you, the leader is to get everyone in the organization aligned with the vision for the future of your business.

In this episode, you will hear what you need to know about why the vision for your business is so essential and vital to the health and relevancy of your future.

 "What is vision?"  You will learn in this episode that Vision involves a picture of what you see for your company’s future.

When Scott finally got serious about a vision for his dental practice he kept in mind his dental practice clarity pieces:
The purpose which is “we genuinely care”;
The values: “we always do the right thing, we respect each other deeply, we play as a team”;
The mission which is, "to assist our patients in achieving oral health”.
Then he clarified the vision.

Furthermore, the vision he had for his dental practice involved having an amazing culture, a warm friendly environment of super hard-working people who love what they do and have fun doing it.

These ideas combine to formulate a vision that he believed they could aspire to as they progress into the future.

The mission statement is your organizations GPS. The mission statement says this is where we’re going. Without clear direction, I couldn’t lead my team into the future. Part of having clarity is knowing your mission. When the entire team knows their mission and everyone is moving in the same direction, great things happen. 
A mission statement will help narrow your focus and:

• Establish your desired culture 
• Help hire the right people 
• Set appropriate goals for the business 
• Help establish your purpose 
• Help guide where you want your business to go
• Create clarity for the entire team

Why living by our core values can be challenging.
Shandel and Scott continue on the topic of values. When you present your values to your team you must be ready to live by them.
Scott shares how in the early days of his dental career he passively accepted the wrong values into his practice. And once they crept in, he felt opposition and resentment when he rooted them out. After Scott discovered the core values for his dental practice he had clarity as to how he would manage and lead his team. 
If you’re a leader who avoids conflict and dealing with issues, this episode is for you.
This episode will give you hope and strength to manage your practice no matter the challenges you are facing. Furthermore, by having office values you will have a benchmark for holding your team accountable.  
To be successful you must lead by example, own your shortcomings, and trust your team.

Clarity changes lives and changes the way we do business.  How do we as business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders of our organizations find clarity? Shandel and Scott go deeper into finding clarity and how asking good questions ultimately gets good answers. Finding clarity starts with knowing why you are in business in the first place, and from there, how to make your business your own. This means you must discover your core values and achieve buy-in from your team. Scott provides some examples from his dental practice and how he struggled to make his practice his own and understand his purpose beyond fixing teeth.
