‘Business context is always changing, and cultures need to evolve along with those changes.’

‘A great way to start making a Culture Shift is to look at what’s happening inside your company that fits the culture you want and build on it.’

It is only through planning that you can know your Vital Goals and whether you and your team are doing the right things for the right reasons at the right time.’

You must be consistent with your goals and with your message, or people will stop taking you seriously.’

When people know what is expected of them and there is nowhere in the company to hide, goals are achieved at a greater magnitude and with greater consistency.’

The math of business isn’t sexy, and sometimes it is hard work to capture and post the data. But if you understand its application, you will always have the edge over competitors, thereby leading to victory.’

Measurement enables us to improve our performance by providing a standard against which we can accurately gauge that performance.’

Know the attributes and qualities you want in your idea candidate before you begin recruiting.’

What gets reinforced becomes a part of the culture, and what does not get reinforced dissipates.’

‘One person’s strategy is another’s tactics. The unnecessasy and fruitless war of what is tactics or strategy or execution must end.’

A strategic direction absolutely needs to be solid for a company to achieve success. But that’s not enough. Yet, it is often treated as if it were all things ‘strategy’ and everything else ‘execution.’ Then all failures is blamed on execution.’

‘Having a great strategic direction or idea without a prepared set of people who ‘get it’ is effectively the same as having a bad idea.’

‘Outward signs (titles, affiliations) don’t measure the choices we’ve made for how to be at work, nor do they indicate value created.’

It’s certainly better to look dumb and learn than to keep quiet and stay uninformed. It’s called the courage to learn.

When the ‘why’ is unknown, decisions can seem arbitrary and self-serving. When the ‘why’ is known, it raises everyone’s ability to align subdecisions.’

The ultimate goal isn’t to win once, but rather to win over and over again.’

‘Most people don’t see how conflict can serve business. They think appeasing everyone creates peace, but that just waters down solutions. It is our ability to work through tension that resolves issues and creates new solutions.’

‘For strategy to work, it has to meet the needs of the people who must support it.’

‘There is no such thing as ‘the right answer.’ There is something that is best for you, given your problem and particular set of circumstances. Envision that.’
