Speed and clarity oppose each other

Apple 2017 Keynote iPhone X
Leadership comes with the opportunity to leave a legacy others will want to emulate and perpetuate.

 

Speed and clarity oppose each other.

Do you come up with epiphanies or unique viewpoints that lead to transformational change?

When you do have brilliant clarity, how often does it happen?

And does it typically happen while you race through your day?

Leadership accountability works best with perfect clarity

What the organization focuses on – how to keep the Magic alive after the Parade is over.

 

What the Senior Executive saw as being rigid and inflexible, i saw as clarity.

Funny how the same thing can be seen paradoxically opposed.

One of the four world-class leadership basics is accountability.

Accountability works best with perfect clarity.

Less than perfect clarity brings less than perfect results.

Either way, a culture is established and practiced daily based on the way expectations are determined, communicated, and enforced.

The harsh reality for people who dislike demanding bosses

Disneyland book
Walt Disney had his moments like every leader does. He wasn’t always happy with the way things were going.

 

There’s a harsh reality for people who dislike demanding bosses. The demanding boss doesn’t like being demanding. If accountability is clear, then results should follow. When results don’t follow the boss has to do something to ensure the results happen.

That plan b that the boss has to go to is often perceived as demanding.

Now imagine if you delivered exactly what you and the boss agreed on.

There’d be praise instead of pressure.

Tell me again who’s fault that is.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

He designs websites to do only three things

We met two days ago. He is the IT director for a regional self-storage company. And he designs his websites to let his customers :

  1. buy
  2. pay
  3. contact

Self -storage. Who knew?

Everything his website does is designed to drive his customers to one of those three actions. Period.

He claims to have made $100,000 as a high school senior. He got into designing websites as a competition with his friends to see could be the best.

Asked him if what he had just shared was anywhere on his website. Why? Because it tells a potentially compelling story that may engage his audience to do what he hopes more often.

He also has an eight-year old son and he is not exactly at a healthy BMI for men his age (30’s). His path is probably not going to change unless he has a wakeup call.

Maybe we could barter.
