SURVIVAL IS OPTIONAL--GREAT LEADERS CHOOSE TO SURVIVE
/Originally written in August 2016
Over the past few years, I have written articles and posts (and now a book manuscript) and spoken about SURVIVAL IS OPTIONAL. Many people and organizations struggle, but they don’t need to. Leaders (all through your system) can rapidly accelerate its growth and collaboration and achieve disruptive success like never before.
The key themes are:
Leaders choose either to survive, or they struggle and fail.
The fork in the road is when some leaders choose to either adopt management fads, “best practices, and the status quo or other leaders choose to be synthetic, systems thinkers. They continually challenge the current beliefs, assumptions, and practices in their drive to improve, innovate, and disrupt for a vision that they see, but others may not—yet! (Think Google, Tesla, Virgin, Apple—and hundreds more disrupting their industries.)
There is no magic bullet to replace brilliant visions, challenging mindsets, provocative questions, and well-communicated plans that become a reality. These Together create survival and immeasurable success!
The interaction of many ideas and concepts (new, better, provocative thinking; a different mindset) produces a System of new leadership and methods for bold success and transformation (going where we’ve never thought about going to before.) Again, think Tesla, Apple, Google, and Virgin. What about your industry?
To learn more about how leaders can excel with fewer obstacles and experience greater success, call to schedule a learning session. I facilitate Executive Coaching, Leadership Team Retreats, Lunch-and-Learn sessions, and I deliver Keynote Speeches in organizations and at conferences.
