Strategy execution?
Did you know that “It is still the case that many firms are weak at decomposing future strategy into detailed human resource plans and the required changes in recruiting, training and performance management”?

Revenue growth often stalls in successful companies! Why?
Did you know that the fundamental reasons why revenue growth often stalls in successful companies? They identify four main reasons:
1. “Premium position captivity” – when a market leader fails to respond to a low-cost competitor.
2. “Innovation Management Breakdown” – where new product development fails to deliver an ROI.
3. “Premature core abandonment” – where growth opportunities in the core franchise are not exploited or new competitive challenges are ignored.
4. “Talent bench shortfall” – where a company withers due to a lack of leaders and staff able to execute strategy. -

The power of expanding out consciousness!
Everything we do in life is dependent on how well our conscious and non-conscious mind functions!
Control our #mind, control our life! Learn how to learn below the threshold of conscious #perception!
So, to use more of our brain, we have to get to use our brain not just consciously, but also at subconscious levels.
Did you know that it is our subconscious mind that is the real power centre of our being?
Boost your confidence and self-awareness and become a more centred and balanced person using more of your non-conscious mind!
Expand your consciousness, maintain a more active and healthy attitude towards life and people will love you!

Committed to Excellence?
Are you committed to excellence?
To a point, you must be willing to work extremely hard and make whatever reasonable sacrifices are necessary to achieve the organizational goals that have been established for the team.
At the same time, you must ensure that every member of your staff and all of your players fully understand that the commitment to excellence can never willingly be compromised.
At all times, the focus must be on doing things properly. Every play. Every practice. Every meeting. Every situation. Every time

When good isn’t good enough!
For men and women who are extremely good at what they do, nothing is more discouraging than discovering that the thing they do so well isn’t what’s needed to get the job done.
When a successful manager confronts a situation in which a philosophy that has always worked—and he has every reason to believe is fundamentally sound—fails, he may have to face the hard fact that the ground rules have changed and that he and his way of doing things may be a problem.
In the world of fast companies, this kind of thing happens all the time. The true test of leadership is the adaptability and flexibility a manager brings to this type of situation.
The challenge comes in having to leave your comfort zone—an area where you’ve been operating effectively, perhaps for years.

Your strategy is not what you say it is.
You can talk all you want about having a strategy for your life, understanding motivation, and balancing aspirations with anticipated opportunities. But ultimately, this means nothing if you do not align those with where you expend your time, money and energy.
In other words how you allocate your resources is where the rubber meets the road.
We create the real strategy in companies and our lives through hundreds of everyday decisions about where we spend our resources.
As you’re living your life from day today, how do you make sure you’re heading in the right direction?
Watch where your resources flow. If they are not supporting this strategy you’ve decided upon, then you’re not implementing the strategy at all.

Leader as a coach?
If coaching is one of the most powerful communication and leadership instruments, and is extremely effective in working with change, why do you think it’s not really practiced by many managers and leaders?

The value of executing strategic thinking!
When people face life-and-death situations, it’s easy to see the value of strategic thinking. But the need remains great even when painful consequences aren’t immediately evident. Companies like yours need leaders who understand the value of strategic thinking. The law of navigation states that nearly anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a real leader to chart the course. It takes strategic thinking and execution to lead your teams to their destinations.
“An authentic real leader is one who sees more than others see, who sees farther than others see, and who sees before others see.” The larger the organization, the more clearly the leader has to be able to see ahead.
Leaders who are good navigators and executioners are capable of taking their people just about anywhere. If you want your company to experience growth this year, equip your leaders to navigate well the challenges that lie ahead.
We like to use the phrase “looking through the turn,” a motorcycling principle that is a great analogy for business and life, teaching you to focus on where you want to end up rather than the hazards and obstacles in your way. This is the definition of a strategic thinker: successful businesses and communicators who are able to assess and create opportunities for the future and implement actions that support business goals.

Waiting for someone else to help?
If you wait for someone to pop up and help you achieve your goals, then you have already decided to quit.
No one is going to have as much passion or desire to achieve your goals than you do. Someone might become inspired and help you over the finishing line, but it’s at the start that you need to have the self-motivation to get up and get the ball rolling.
“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.” —Abraham Lincoln
