Making business strategy work…
MAKING STRATEGY WORK IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN THE TASK OF STRATEGY MAKING
Execution is critical to success. Execution represents a disciplined process or a logical set of connected activities that enables an organization to take a strategy and make it work. Without a care- ful, planned approach to execution, strategic goals cannot be attained. Developing such a logical approach, however, represents a formidable challenge to management.

Change is hard.
“Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up.”

Leadership Innovation?
Individual creativity is made up of three things:
Thinking differently
Feeling differently
Focusing, or committing, differently.
You need to be willing to come up with new ideas, even unusual ones. To care about solving problems that other people might think are impossible or unimportant. And, the willpower to take action on your ideas, and see them through.
The power to be innovative is already inside you. Human beings are inherently creative creatures. Some people are more creative than others, and we’re all creative in different ways. And you can learn to be more creative and innovative.
Start collecting ideas. Get outside your comfort zone and try to find ideas that are unproven and new. Use new sources and collect ideas you might normally dismiss.
Take those ideas and transform them in a lot of different ways, such as reversing the assumption of an idea, or reversing its implementation. Make it prettier, uglier, longer, thinner, higher, or lower, etc.
Be willing to take an idea and change it to make it yours, or to fit your purpose.

Leadership lessons.
Did you know that often leaders aren’t ruined by their mistakes? More often, they’re ruined by their response to their mistakes.
