Description
STICK WITH IT
Mastering the Art of Adherence
By Lee Colan
One of the biggest challenges a leader has isn’t crafting a plan, it’s executing it and staying on track. Even the best-laid plans can be way-laid by crises, management changes, or an organization that is dysfunctional and whose employees aren’t aligned with key goals set in place. This is where great companies and great leadership can stumble.
STICK WITH IT by leadership expert Lee Colan looks at the art of adherence in the individual and the organization. Adherence isn’t just a one-time event but a long-term, long-range focus on the goal. It’s a learned skill - and requires Focus, Competence, and Passion. Colan provides key examples of these elements at work in business settings.
The other necessity of a executed plan starts with Strategy. This is the wireframe by which you Stick With It. Without a plan in place, your team will lack a target. What’s your budget? What’s your vision? What’s your purpose? What is the drive that will carry you from Point A to B? Colan helps leaders whittle down to the essentials to create a Strategy so strong it can stand in as your business mantra.
Based on results from more than 20,000 interviews with leaders across industries, Colan offers takeaways for creating team accountability; how to imbue teams (and individuals) with initiative and purpose; and exercising patience as you stick to your goal.
