HAVE A PLAN
You have goals, you may have a strategy, but do you
have a plan to execute?
As a leader, one of your primary responsibilities is to
develop a plan that will get you from where you are
now to where you've committed to be in the future.
Having goals without a plan to achieve them is like
having a destination but no map of how to get there.
At the same time, another one of your primary
responsibilities as a leader is to not allow your
team to be paralyzed or captured by the lack of a
perfect plan. Sometimes, it makes the most sense
to start leading in the direction of your destination,
recognizing that you'll figure out details en route.
A GOOD PLAN,
VIOLENTLY EXECUTED
NOW, IS BETTER THAN
A PERFECT PLAN
NEXT WEEK.
