Business Leaders

January 29th, 2010

logo5As a leader in business, you’ve climbed some tall mountains and taken some huge risks that most people will never take. Congratulations.  And along with the success, you’ve likely experienced challenges.  It’s all part of the process and is experienced by every leader who is up to producing breakthrough results.

The good news is your current operating system is working, most of the time. In the places you’ve been winning, you’re likely using an operating system that supports you in producing results - you solve problems quickly and efficiently, you diligently research past results to accurately plan for the future, and you look to your experience to support you moving forward.

Here’s the not-so-good-news.  That same operating system is the one that creates each and every challenge you have in your business.

As strange as this may seem, problem-solving, looking to the past and reacting are three common strategies that consistently prevent business leaders from producing consistent and sustainable results.

  • Problem-solving alleviates an issue temporarily, but it does not forever eliminate it
  • Looking to the past allows you to create predictable results, but never breakthrough results
  • Reacting may alleviate the initial problem, but it will create additional or “side-effect” problems

In the end, it’s like trying to run Microsoft Office 2008TM on a DOS based operating system - it may look like it’s booting up, but it’s guaranteed to crash.

There is hope. There is another operating system.

Consider that distinguishing patterns, designing an ideal future and taking action aligned with that future is the suitable operating system for sustainable growth. When operating within this framework, problems will arise but you will not strategize on how to fix the problem, you will simply use the problem as a learning opportunity to move in another direction.

When you act from this operating system, you will:

  • Distinguish old patterns that dis-empower and create new patterns that empower
  • Design a future based on what you want to create rather than what’s predictable
  • Make promises to take action regardless of your past experience or current knowledge
  • Bring results into being rather than reacting to circumstances or your environment

Are you ready to upgrade your operating system?

The benefits of upgrading your leadership operating system include:

  • Stepping into leadership without resistance and fear
  • Creating your future rather than reacting to circumstances
  • Enrolling others in your vision so that action takes place immediately
  • Consistently creating and implementing projects that generate breakthrough results
  • Consistent marketing and business development activity and results
  • Having a lot of fun designing and leading your business or organization

  2. Create an inspiring future and map out how to get there including how we’ll measure specific results
  3. Design an ongoing coaching process in which we will:
    1. Create awareness and identify empowering and dis-empowering patterns
    2. Distinguish choices of behaviors, emotions and tangible actions
    3. Get into action to produce results
  4. Measure results, make adjustments and take action again
