At the End of the Day-\u00a0 “Execute”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A critical element of being trustworthy is being competent.\u00a0 This competence shows up in a leader’s capabilities and results.\u00a0 Another way of saying this is that an effective leader is not just strategic (although this too is critical) but is effective in execution– gets things done (primarily through working with others on the team).\u00a0 A culture of execution sets the stage for what an organization must do well.\u00a0 By executing on its short and long term plans on a daily basis, the organization will sustain the type of leading edge performance that will keep it superior to the competition and drive the most value to the organization’s stakeholders.\u00a0 Effective execution means achieving results by doing the job right the first time (quality), in the most efficient manner (cost), with the customer being the first in line (service).<\/p>\n
Employees in execution-leading organizations are empowered and strive for creativity, innovation and connectivity in their jobs as they execute their short and long terms plans and gain fulfillment in doing so.\u00a0 An effective leader recognizes the employees for their execution through genuine respect, praise and appropriate recognition and rewards.<\/p>\n
It is amazing how sustainable results are a remedy for many things.\u00a0 The results-driven earned trustworthiness gives credibility to the leader, the employees, the organization, the brand, the product and\/or the service.\u00a0 When the leader raises the bar in setting performance expectations, creates a culture of execution and empowers the employees to perform, the organization’s world class potential is tapped and employees respond.\u00a0 While a leader’s vision and direction is vital to the organization, it is the commitment to execution and performance excellence that is the basis for sustained growth.<\/p>\n
