That about cuts it.'World Domination' sums it up - but I can't tell anyone that.I have a clear purpose and I think I demonstrate that most days.Everyone in our business, and many outside it, understand exactly why we exist.How would you rate yourself today, on a scale of 1-12?Where would you like to be in 12 months time, on a scale of 1-12?Mission (WHAT value do we create?)How focused are you and your people on those products, services and actions that you can deliver at 'world's best' standard?We'll do lots of things that fit our skillset and work ridiculously hard, but the market is hard and we struggle for profit.We have fantastic capacity and plenty of opportunity but so many things seem to get in the road of our execution that we lose too often when we should win.We have worked out what we are best at and do it well, but I know there is a level or two above where we are but don't know how to get there.We focus ruthlessly to excel at delivering only 'best of breed' products for which we can gain a premium.How would you rate yourself today, on a scale of 1-12?Where would you like to be in 12 months time, on a scale of 1-12?Values (HOW we do business)Do you have a clear statement of your Enterprise Values that determine how you and your people behave doing business?I really struggle with the idea of telling people how to act, or how I want them to behave. When I've tried this, I've failed.We have Procedures, a Code of Conduct, rules galore, but unless you are continually harping on them and pulling people up, they go by the wayside.We have a strong Code of Conduct and most people comply but I can see opportunity in a deeper buy-in.We have a clear and simple set of Values. We talk about them routinely and they govern our internal and external behavior and relationships.How would you rate yourself today, on a scale of 1-12?Where would you like to be in 12 months time, on a scale of 1-12?Goals (What WINNING looks like).Do you have defined Enterprise Strategic Goals for (say) 3 years out, and 1 year out and are they a regular point of reference?Setting long-term goals doesn't work as things change too rapidly. Our goal is too often a case of 'surviving the current crisis'.We set goals but almost immediately fall behind their timelines and end up in survival mode, fighting fires, reworking things, and patching up.We achieve most of our goals, though sometimes slower than planned, sometimes at lower margins, but overall we we're making good progress.We have 'big picture' long- term goals. Our near-term goals are detailed and summarized to numbers and dates, that are constant guides to our progress and continually reshape our execution.How would you rate yourself today, on a scale of 1-12?Where would you like to be in 12 months time, on a scale of 1-12?People (WHO's pedaling?)Do you have the right people on your bus?It is extremely difficult to find good people who'll work for reasonable wages and not ask for the earth. Too many just want 'a high- paying easy job' and won't take responsibility and work hard.We've got some good people and some not-so-good, but it's hard to find replacements in our market and so we make do.We have a better-than- average team who perform well but while I know we could better, I don't know how we get there.I feel we're finally at a point where we have the right people on board, and that they have taken ownership and are driving the bus. It's a pleasure to work here.How would you rate yourself today, on a scale of 1-12?Where would you like to be in 12 months time, on a scale of 1-12?Leadership (Who's steering?)Do you lead others to do most of the driving of your business?I have staff who don't get it. I delegate but get frustrated and often end up doing it faster myself.I lose my cool when people just 'turn up', don't think things through, and don't care about what they are doing or the quality of what they produce. They are holding me back!I have some good and some poorer performers on my team, but they are better than average and work well enough, but it takes constant supervision.My team runs the business, sometimes better than I do. They occasionally look to me for validation of strategy, or a pat on the back when they do well.How would you rate yourself today, on a scale of 1-12?Where would you like to be in 12 months time, on a scale of 1-12?Planning (HOW we get there)Do you have a written Business Plan to which your key people have contributed and regularly refer?Everything changes so fast that writing a plan is a waste of time. Everyone here knows what the immediate priorities are (survival) and gets on with it.We have a Strategic Plan, but it's been hammered by events in our market and business and so there's no point in looking at it until we get things under control.We have a written plan for each Strategic Goal; we have measures to tell us if we are on track; we review progress quarterly - and we're on track.We have a One Page Strategic Plan and a Dashboard that are visible to all, which we review regularly and tweak as we go.How would you rate yourself today, on a scale of 1-12?Where would you like to be in 12 months time, on a scale of 1-12?Final StepOne final step before we send you your results, which will enable you to understand where you are and where you want to be.Name* First Name Email* Email Consent* Yes, I give consent to securely store my details, email me my report along with future relevant tips supporting my score.

In the words of a Randal Rattan, PhD Sports Psychology, "Challenging goals, when accepted, result in superior performance." Superior to what? To what would have been the case without them! Negotiating the acceptance of challenging goals with yourself and your people 'results in superior performance' 100 PERCENT OF THE TIME!</p><p>Sometimes, underperformance is as simple as not having sufficiently clear (measurable, dated) goals for the exact outcomes or behaviors that drive your business (or personal life).</p>Q2 or Topic 2 Biggest Gap Feedback<p><strong>Purpose (WHY do we exist?)</strong></p><p>You must be able to recite your Purpose (the very core reason your business exists) "in a single sentence, understandable by a 12-year old, and recallable at gunpoint!" And that single sentence should be couched in customer-centric language (what's good for them, not what's good for you). Get this bit right and you'll find that you have a compelling reason for, 'Why you should buy from me', and a foundation for simple, powerful, on-topic marketing.</p>Q3 or Topic 3 Biggest Gap Feedback<p><strong>Mission (WHAT value do we create?)</strong></p><p>If your products and/or service are 'the world's best' you can command a 300% pricing premium and stand above most - if not all - of your competitors. If you are 'among the best' (second tier) you might command a 100% premium. But, if you are among the also-rans, it's dog- eat-dog in discount land and a race to the bottom. Entrepreneurs are generally talented and multi-skilled and fall into the trap of 'We COULD be good at that..and that...and that', and so they dissipate their focus, and energy, and confuse their market.</p>Q4 or Topic 4 Biggest Gap Feedback<p><strong>Values (HOW we do business)</strong></p><p>Values in business are 'the rules about the rules'. 'Integrity, Communication, Respect, Excellence' are all Values. If fact they were the Corporate Values at ENRON, the directors of which are now all in jail - for fraud. Understanding, fundamentally, 'what matters most to us in doing this business', then sharing that with everyone who works with you, and then walking the talk every day while insisting they do the same, makes you predictable, understandable and trustworthy to your stakeholders (team, customers, suppliers, community). So people will buy from you, sell to you and support you, easily.</p>Q5 or Topic 5 Biggest Gap Feedback<p><strong>Goals (What WINNING looks like).</strong></p><p>Strategic Goals are 'milestones along the road of our Mission on the way to achieving our Purpose'. They tell us whether we are making progress in the right direction, and at the right rate, or whether we need to change what we are doing or how we are doing it to get back on track.</p><p>They are also essential in assisting everyone in the business to set their Priorities for every year, quarter, month, week and day. If this task is essential, right now, to moving me towards achieving my goals and contributing to our Strategic Goals, and that task is not, then this task is clearly what I should be doing first, right now!</p>Q6 or Topic 6 Biggest Gap Feedback<p><strong>People (WHO's pedaling?)</strong></p><p>Take a large cauldron of boiling water and pour a single cup of cold water into it and it will come off the boil. Take a team of 20 good people and insert one toxic personality among them and THEY will come off the boil.</p><p>Leave that toxic personality in place for some time, and you'll find after a while you've lost a whole bunch of good people - after they gave up waiting for you to fix the situation.</p><p>By the way, the good ones leave first because they expect better of you, and because they CAN (plenty of jobs await them). What you are then left with is the toxic personal and the lower performers (who know that getting another job may be a challenge). Leaders are the only ones who can fix this. Too often they act too late.</p>Q7 or Topic 7 Biggest Gap Feedback<p><strong>Leadership (Who's steering?)</strong></p><p>Lao Tzu said, "A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves." To achieve that you must select, engage, empower, develop, monitor, coach, mentor and encourage people. It's quick to just TELL them to do it, but…</p>Q8 or Topic 8 Biggest Gap Feedback<p><strong>Planning (HOW we get there)</strong></p><p>An old Prussian General once said, "No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy, but you can't go to war without one."</p><p>A Business or Strategic Plan should summarise your and your team's best thinking about how to achieve your Strategic Goals; list what you need to count (to measure progress and keep you on track); your Values (to keep you within bounds); and high-level snapshots of 'who has to do how much of what by when' (to keep the team coordinated and in-synch).</p><p>Sure, you may need to change the strategies, tactics and even priorities in response to market events, but having it all in one place means everyone is clear on how they need to contribute - right now.</p>Call to Action for EveryoneCall to Action For Column 1<p>Our Clients are already-successful businesspeople who want to 'take their business and/or themselves to the next level'.
