Results On Purpose

Knowing what you want out of your business will help you make decisions that are more consistent with what makes you happy and successful.  On the other hand, not thinking deeply about this means that the people around you such as employees, your advisors like bankers or marketing people, business friends, or the culture in general will have too much influence on your decisions and how you define success.

All other things being equal, good businesses and great businesses are separated by the mindset of their owner and the leadership team.  More accurately, they are separated by their ability to challenge their mindset and purge the bad stuff.  The good news is that you can change your mindset.

Your gut will tell you when you walk into your office every day or when you walk into meetings if you have a people issue.  In other words, you can feel it when you have a poor performer or someone who is a drain on your culture.  Deal with it head on.

If you are lucky in your career, you will have a few people take an interest in your success and step up to mentor you.  One person that did this for me more than twenty years ago was Ray Johnson.  In just a few minutes one day, Ray gave me a lesson in leadership, culture, and integrity.

You’ve certainly heard about setting “big, hairy, audacious goals” or “thinking 10X.”  But have you ever thought about the purpose of really setting a crazy goal and choosing to believe it can be done?  Why do it?

No matter how smart and experienced you are, when it comes to the bigger issues in your business, getting input from others owners who know you and your company will help you make better decisions for your business.

In the first few quarters with new leadership teams, we get into the habit of setting and executing upon 90-Day Deliverables™. Generally, the rate of completion early on is 50-75%, which is below the expectation of 90%+ for great leadership teams. 

Additionally, leaders and their departments have standards set around key performance indicators that they must hit. It’s a hit or miss deal. Close…is a miss.

The fact is, great planning, execution, and management is both a skillset and a mindset.

Let’s talk about the mindset.

Here’s a fun, but serious question. What is the return on great leadership? How do we even answer this question?

Well, let’s assume that great leaders get great results. Whatever business you are in, great results include hitting revenue and profit objectives as well as building great relationship with customers, employees, and the community.

Regardless of how these things above are measured (and the important results we want must be measured), they are either achieved or not. Getting close to the results you want quarter after quarter and year after year is not indicative of great leadership.

Wait a minute, did we just identify the return on great leadership?
