Go Fish

Leaders SERVE
Who Sets The Rules?
Success: Is There a Silver Bullet?
Chasing stuff is fun. It’s non-threatening. It provides here-and-now gratification. It’s organizational Comfort Food.

Go Fish. Pick a card. Follow the instructions. Where does it lead? Who knows until you pick another card.

Many organizations function like this. Tactics rule. Immediate Opportunities dominate how time is consumed. Performance is often measured by how many things a person has on the go. How many projects they are working on.

Tactical driven activity, unfortunately, suffers from a lack of strategic congruence. You never know how much progress you’re making.

Get your strategic thinking straight BEFORE you give chase to action. Be sure you are focusing on what is absolutely necessary to do in order to deliver your strategy.

If you can’t define precisely how your actions contribute to the strategy STOP!

Go find a fish that is schooled on where your journey leads.

Cheers,
Roy
