Must haves for success
I was recently lucky enough to see Tom Peters live – it was the 5th time I had seen him speak and as always I came away inspired!
From the numerous things he said I added my own interpretation and came up with a short list of MUST HAVES for success:
- The “Cause” - the organisation (department or team) to understand and believe in
- The Location - somewhere people want to come to with the space to do things
- The People (right) – realise you are not Tiger Woods – you need others to do that stuff
- Plan – short term detail/longer term concept – get the balance right
- Do stuff - “FIRE” – quick wins and keep moving
- Learn/change/adapt - do more stuff
- Consult everyone - a team of 60 is a TEAM of 60 – always!
- Decency - give respect, grace, integrity
- Communicate – personal!
- Persevere
- Support - at every stage – financial/administration …..
All sounds so simple!
….he also said…..
A Leader…..MUST be determined to create a legacy of earthshaking transformation in their domain create/must necessarily create organizations which are …no less than Cathedrals in which the full and awesome power of the Imagination and Spirit and native Entrepreneurial flair of diverse individuals is unleashed … In passionate pursuit of jointly perceived soaring purpose and personal and community and client service Excellence.
Think!
