IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE - IT'S COMMON SENSE

I sat through two meetings today at two different client offices over two different subjects with totally different areas of professional activity (I am intentionally being vague); however, the exact same problem existed between the two organizations.  The problem…Lack of a solid defined mission statement and the lack of accountability amongst the troops.  As you know, I have repeated and repeated the same theme for years now…Mission, Leadership, Focus, Job Descriptions, Accountability, Feedback, and Celebration. 

Without a well defined mission, the troops will never know what success looks like.  Without leadership, who is going to follow you towards accomplishing this mission?  Without focus, how can you separate the sheep from the goats?  Without defined job descriptions (Scorecards), how will the troops know what success looks like?  Without accountability, why should an “A” player perform different than a “B” or “C” player?  Without feedback, how will they know?  Without celebration, how do we let off steam when we succeed or fail, (yes, fail…at the very least, you can celebrate the failure is over and proceed on with a positive project.)

I challenge you to take a look at this and see if it does not make sense to you.  If you want to learn more about how KTF Consulting, LLC can help you with Realigned Efforts…Forward Momentum, please give us a call.
