There’s no lack of good ideas in today’s business world, yet 50% of them are doomed to failure. Executives will often greenlight a strategic initiative based on a business case and financial analyses alone, with no idea whether their company has the ability to execute it successfully. But there’s a better way to make corporate decisions. Alex Castro has developed the ReM Score™, a data-driven measurement for determining a company’s execution capability (or readiness) for each strategic initiative it is considering. Using this groundbreaking approach, business leaders can effectively evaluate potential acquisitions, new product concepts, new market expansions, and back-office optimizations by separating ideas that will actually work for them from those that are great in theory alone, while continuously measuring a business’s adaptability to evolving strategies. You don’t get two or three chances to make a strategy work in our rapidly shifting business environment. Measure, Execute, Win will help your company proceed on initiatives with full confidence that they will deliver the results you want.

Topics

During this interview Alex and I discuss the following topics:

• How measuring will enable you to hit peak performance
• How organizations fail at executing on their great ideas
• What alignment is and how to ensure your organization is aligned
• How to analyze your organization to determine your shortcomings
• How to avoid analysis paralysis

Jennifer has developed her expertise in Talent Strategy & Leadership Professional Development over her exciting 20+ year career as an HR Professional.

Employees have lots of reasons to resist change, from apathy to fear. However, many employers miss the biggest reason their workforce might balk at change: Not all ideas for change are good and productive! 2020 is the year that no one saw coming, rife with business challenges from the pandemic, fires, political unrest, and more. America’s vulnerability to overseas suppliers is a strong argument for manufacturing to return to the United States. However, this will present significant challenges, as American companies try to attain the level of productivity of countries such as, for example, Japan, which has learned to streamline production into smaller footprints. Change is necessary if American manufacturing is to succeed.

Michael Sanders, PhD, LSSBB, MBA, co-author of Quantum Lean: Taking Lean Systems to the Next Level , has worked in every phase of the supply chain, including as CEO and president of food, energy, distribution, and high-tech firms. He is the cofounder of the nonprofit organization BeehiveFund, which assists companies with production, scheduling, inventory control, and developing quality-management systems. He is sought for his expertise in negotiation, organizational psychology, Six Sigma, quality systems, and regulatory compliance. Michael has a PhD in Industrial Engineering and an MBA from Texas Tech University.

Topics

During this interview Michael and I discuss the following topics:

• How his book will help leaders to achieve peak performance
• How Quantum Lean can be found in Leading Yourself or Leading Your Team
• The difference between quality and luxury, and efficiency and effectiveness
• The importance of delegation in a Quantum Lean setting

In our modern business landscape, the war for talent is more complex than ever. You need to attract and retain the best talent for your organization to win, but without the right strategy or mindset, you won’t be able to compete. If your revenue is declining, you’re losing market share to your competition, or your organizational health is deteriorating, it’s time to evolve how you approach this never-ending war. After all, your PEOPLE—not your product or service—are your strongest competitive advantage.

The Talent War explores how U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) assess, select, and develop their world-class talent. You’ll learn how to adopt a talent mindset, the single greatest weapon you can possess in the war for talent. When your organization reflects this mindset, you will hire, train, and develop the right people, and put them in the best positions to make decisions that allow you to retake the advantage and win the war.

Mike Sarraille is the CEO of EF Overwatch, an executive search and talent advisory firm, and leadership consultant with Echelon Front. He is a former Recon Marine and retired US Navy SEAL officer with twenty years of experience in Special Operations, including the elite Joint Special Operations Command.

George Randle is a Strategic Advisor to EF Overwatch, former US Army officer, and Vice President of Global Talent Acquisition at Forcepoint, a human-centric cybersecurity company. George has more than two decades of experience in talent acquisition at Fortune 100 and Fortune 1000 firms.

Topics

During this interview Mike, George, and I discuss the following topics:

• How they entered into the HR realm
• How companies are currently losing the Talent War
• The attributes which Special Operations Forces look for in their candidates
• How companies can leverage the Special Operations Forces selection ideology for their selection process
• Who should be apart of the selection process
• How to get over a blow to your ego as a leader 
• How leaders can switch their hiring mindset from skills-based to talent-based

Productivity makes or breaks peak performance in ourselves, our teams, and our organizations. However, since the development of more and more “productivity” tools there’s been a steady decline in productivity. Simply put, we are getting overwhelmed with everything which “must” be done to be productive. Productivity is about simplifying the process and enabling people to work in their zone of genius and not zone of failure.
