Why people can be too focused on producing results

Why people can be too focused on producing results.

Results focused—a characteristic of an effective person in an organization. Keeping your eye on the prize and pulling out all the stops to get it

Mindless pursuit of your target. is there anything wrong with this picture?

Don’t get me wrong. I am an absolute zealot of delivering results on time on expectations and on budget.

But there is a potential downside if the process of delivering the results is not done thoughtfully.

Delivering results without considering how they are delivered can leave road kill along the way

It can cause devastating collateral damage to bystanders and others who are involved in delivering the results.

Get your thinking around the long term impact of what you are delivering.

The long term lens will encourage you build relationships with people who will play an important role in delivery.

Take time to build trust between yourself and your stakeholders. Distance yourself from thinking about what you are delivering as a transaction.

What’s important is the longevity of what you are delivering. It is sustainability.

Short term transactions rarely yield long term value.

Results delivered through a process of trust, mutual respect and caring will deliver a quality result that will endure for a long time.

Cheers,
Roy
