How do you translate strategy into results? Execution is both an organizational culture and a specific set of behaviors. Leaders must be hands-on and intensively involved with three core interlinked processes -the people process, the strategy process and the operations process. Leaders must hire doers that energize others, make decisions quickly, get things done through delegation and follow through. Business leaders who understand the reality of markets, customers and resources must own the strategy process. Use the operations process to break strategic goals into yearly targets, design programs and tie performance to incentives. These three core processes are the foundation of competitive advantage.
Most leaders and managers are familiar with meetings that aren't as productive as they should be. By using “parallel thinking,” where participants focus on one part of a discussion at a time, productivity is increased. This method uses the analogy of different colored hats to represent six modes of thinking. By having everyone wear the same color “hat” at the same time, it creates a group focus with a single point of view.
