LEADING THROUGH AUTHORITY
So you have it. Get out the bullhorn and see what happens. After all, they report to you so they have to listen, right? They will execute exactly as required because you made it very clear, right? Talk to Veterans this way, Boomers that way, Gen X this way and Gen Y that way. Before long you’ll feel as twisted as a pretzel. Do you find yourself longing for the good old days when command and control really worked?
YOUR SEAT AT THE TABLE
You weren’t handed this prestigious honor. You worked your buns off, you earned your stripes, you paid your dues and in exchange you have been granted a seat at the proverbial table. This is where the decisions are made. This is where the CFO sits at the right hand of the CEO and the future is revealed. And, whether you are a shareholder, or a stakeholder you are expected to weigh in and drive the business forward. They are looking at you to be the starting quarterback so you’d better not be warming the bench.
BEING STRATEGIC
Sounds easy but we get pulled into a whirlwind of tactical executions. The minute we get strategic we see things falling apart from an execution standpoint and when we bury ourselves in the tactics, of course our trajectory can go astray. We are so wrapped up in talent utilization that we can lose sight of our own talent utilization. Who is holding you accountable to what’s best for you?
LIFT UP YOUR HEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AROUND
How are others doing it? How are others driving to achieve results in a curious economy? Don’t fool yourself. No one knows it all and these times are too convoluted to figure it out on your own.
WHO’S GOT YOUR BACK?
This is about a group of like-minded people who come to together to get smarter and make better decisions. When’s the last time you had a group of really smart people noodle an issue with only you in mind? No competitors are allowed. Confidentiality is required and you’ll sign an agreement. Make a commitment to 12 other executives to learn, to engage, to show up for 4 hours once a month. Plus, you will drive the agenda. We deal with what’s on your mind and what’s going on at your company. If we need experts we’ll bring them in.
