Executing strategic priorities in the midst of daily emergencies is challenging. The urgent activity needed to keep things running day-to-day can devour all the time and energy required to invest in your strategy for tomorrow. This leaves some teams with unfinished goals and projects at the end of the year despite all the effort they make to juggle multiple and often competing priorities.

In this episode Chris introduces the 4 Keys to Strategy Execution:

1. Focus on the Breakthrough

2. Leverage the Lead

3. Track the Lead

4. Initiate Continuous Accountability

Extraordinary leaders are developed in the process of creating extraordinary results. Chris breaks down how traditional approaches to leadership aren't reliable and offers a new way of growing leaders.

Here are some of the highlights from the episode:

- Most leadership programs teach ABOUT leadership. That doesn't work well because leadership is an as-lived experience so it requires an as-lived (on-the-field) approach

- Leadership starts with knowing what you are committed to. It also requires we know WHO WE NEED TO BE to fulfill that commitment.

- Leadership is less about what we KNOW and more about how we SEE what's possible for ourselves, our team and our future. From this paradigm, it's not our circumstances that stop us. Instead our difficulty seeing possibility constrains our ability to effectively lead.

Do you have a continuous improvement mindset? High performing teams have an ability to adapt to change. Chris explores a pervasive mindset that keeps us stuck and offers a new way to thinking about work.

Here are some of the highlights from the episode:

- Most of us operate from the mindset that "doing the work is the work." This is not wrong, it's just limiting.

- Consider the mindset "Improving the work IS the work" as the foundation for team adaptivity.

- Goals are what we strive for, while mindsets are where we "come from." This is important because goals live in the future, while mindsets live in the present as ways of BEING. . . which means we can start RIGHT NOW.

- Hard wiring a new mindset requires you have a SYSTEM to create a daily experience with your team. . . like the 4 Disciplines

In this episode Chris walks you through how to improve your team's performance. He specifically focuses on how to improve your skill to manage for results. By the end of this podcast you will know the mindset and frameworks to boost performance.

Here are some of the frameworks Chris introduces:

- Focus on what you create vs. what you do!

- Realize that anytime you create someTHING for someONE, there is a process. So how much clarity do you posses on what create? On the process to create it? And how well do you manage that process?
