‘Business is a team sport! Everyone must up their skills and teamwork in order to achieve the future vision and goals!’

‘Role clarity is critical! No pro team would show up to a game without knowing their positions. If they did, it would look more like a free-for-all than professional play!’

‘The more psychological safety you generate, the more you can request people to perform outside their comfort zones. It requires courage to step up and take more ownership for delivering outcomes. That’s why they need safety!’

‘… being effective at leading innovation means that you have to master your ability to spend a lot of time in discomfort, and make it safe for your team to be in discomfort right alongside you.’

‘You must renegotiate if the outcome cannot be reached with the current plan.’

‘To have the culture you desire, you have to build good leadership habits!’

‘Recognizing when things go off track is key! You know you are off track when achieving the intended outcome isn’t possible without a significant change.’

‘Don’t offer anything you can’t or won’t actually do.’

‘Making clear, conscious, effective agreements is a foundational skill. It’s worth practicing to achieve mastery.’

‘Agreements are a process, not a promise. As situations change, so must the agreements. There is way too much change always happening in business to consider anything an unchangeable ‘promise.’

‘Delegation is a two-way process with mutual responsibility. When everyone involved is responsible to generate a good agreement, it takes the pressure off any one person to get it right.’

‘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.’

‘Top performers are obsessed with training and practice. They don’t just achieve greatness and then coast through the rest of their career. They keep striving to be the best.’
