In a 2013 survey of nearly 700 executives across a variety of industries, our firm asked respondents to rate the effectiveness of the top leaders of their companies. How many excelled at strategy? How many excelled at execution? The results are shown in the chart below. These responses are sobering: Only 16% of top leaders were rated very effective at either strategy or execution. Only 8% were very effective at both, while 63% were rated neutral or worse on at least one dimension.
Since the end of World War II, corporate strategy has survived several generations of painful transformation and has grown appropriately agile and athletic. Unfortunately, organizational development has not kept pace, and managerial attitudes lag even farther behind. As a result, corporations now commonly design strategies that seem impossible to implement, for the simple reason that no one can effectively implement third-generation strategies through second-generation organizations run by first-generation managers.
Today the most successful companies are those where top executives recognize the need to manage the new environmental and competitive demands by focusing less on the quest for an ideal structure and more on developing the abilities, behaviour, and performance of individual managers. Change succeeds only when those assigned to the new transnational and interdependent tasks understand the overall goals and are dedicated to achieving them.
One senior executive put it this way: “The challenge is not so much to build a matrix structure as it is to create a matrix in the minds of our managers.” The inbuilt conflict in a matrix structure pulls managers in several directions at once. Developing a matrix of flexible perspectives and relationships within each manager’s mind, however, achieves an entirely different result. It lets individuals make the judgments and negotiate the trade-offs that drive the organisation toward a shared strategic objective.
Almost every role and responsibility you have in your daily life is a potential coaching opportunity. That is, with the addition of some keen personal coaching, your performance in any area can skyrocket. The following is a list of possible coaching opportunities:

Coaching is not content but a process. It creates the conditions for learning and growing. It focuses on future possibilities, not past mistakes. It removes or reduces the internal obstacles to the person’s performance. Thus unlocking people’s potential to maximise their own performance.
It is effective for uncovering authentic values. It produces the alignment and optimises business performance.

Ugh! Procrastination?
Putting things off?
Want to be doing something and putting it off?
Delaying doing something until a later time because you do not want to do it?
Napoleon Hill put it like this. “Procrastination is the bad habit of putting off things you want to do, until the day after tomorrow.
Within your procrastination, you already have a particular pattern that you follow. For example:
It might be subtle, but it will go something like this:
You think of cleaning your house. Your brain assesses how much work and energy that will take. You feel lethargic. You shift into overwhelm. So you decide to check your email and two and a half hours later, it’s time to go to bed.
We can help you fight procrastination! Procrastination is not a psychological problem; it is a matter of mental organisation.
Being a trusted leader I encourage rewarding people to be imaginative and find flaws in ideas and immediately finding solutions for those flaws! And fulfilling customer needs in new ways that create value! (Under conditions of high uncertainty)
