Goals are good. Execution is mandatory!

Far too often, we set goals to never look at them. To review them. And most importantly, to strategically think about them.

I’ve been the CEO of an international firm for many years now, and one thing I’ve learned is that planning plus execution is where the game is played. This is where we win.

It’s where you score.

This is true for your personal and professional life.

In the sections to follow I’m going to share with you how I create the bones, the framework for my goals, which allows me to execute.

Do you often feel your goals are a dream? A fantasy!

You’re stuck. Progress isn’t being made. You’d have more luck entering a Star Wars movie than achieving your goals.

I’ve had the same problem in my company. I laid out our 3-year vision. A detailed story of who we were and what we did 3 years from now.

It was beautiful. You could taste the vision in your mouth. You could feel the future smiles walking down the halls.

The champagne flowed, and the laughter was plentiful.

The problem? We weren’t transferring this vision into action. We weren’t doing what we were saying.

If I said “no” to all the things I didn’t want to do when I was 21, I’d be picking my nose and playing beer pong all day.

Instead, I said yes to going back to school and getting my masters degree (not recommended for everyone).

I said yes to an Account Manager role. I said yes to any client that would be crazy enough to listen to my half-assed sales pitch. I said yes to any and all deals and targets that crossed me.

I said yes to a Director of Purchasing promotion. I said yes to becoming the President.

And I said yes to becoming CEO.

I’ve been a shitty manager. I’d expect others to have telepathic capabilities to the inner workings of my head.

I’d abdicate until someone screwed up following my half-assed instructions, then, I’d be the far too familiar “helicopter manager.”

There are lies we tell ourselves as managers that make us shitty. And downright wrong.

To be an effective leader, you’ll avoid these five lies managers tell themselves.

We all argue. It’s a natural part of business. So is conflict.

In his book, the “The Five Dysfunctions Of A Team,” Patrick Lencioni words it beautifully,

“All great relationships, the ones that last over time, require productive conflict in order to grow. This is true in marriage, parenthood, friendship, and certainly business.”

The real reason you’re losing arguments is that your points are all inward. They’re all about you.
