Part 1: The Definition of Insanity in Business
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” But how often do we fall into this trap in our businesses?
Results = Strategies + Execution. While strategies are important, execution is where the rubber meets the road. And it’s often the hardest part. Why?
- Changing human behavior is HARD. We can’t just flip a switch and expect everyone to be on board with new plans and goals.
- We get stuck in our ways. It’s tempting to stick with what’s comfortable, even if it’s not producing the results we want.
Think about your team:
- Top 30%: Willing and able. They’re your rockstars, but even they need support and direction.
- Middle 40%: Willing but unable. They have potential but need coaching and development.
- Bottom 30%: Unwilling and unable. They resist change and can drain your energy.
What if your success was measured by how well you could inspire and transform your team? This is where servant leadership comes in.
