Execution, And I Don’t Mean “The Chair”

Everything happens as a function of action. That’s not a startling statement. However, I’m not talking about just moving around. I am not talking about “kinda” running the coach’s system either, or even telling the hitter to watch the ball. So, what DO I mean? In the baseball analogy, it is watching the seam of [...]

Performance Factors Revealed

We are always working on our performance even when we we aren’t consciously working on it. During this work, one of the questions we ask ourselves is, “How do I consistently maintain a high level of performance?” Perhaps there are more effective questions to ask. Businesses and other types of organizations have dozens of projects [...]

Execution Is The Key To Performace

For years I have been emphasizing that the only thing that makes any difference to great performance is action. In conversations with my executive clients, it has become clear that I need to fine-tune my conversation. I'm not talking about just any old action. What leaders are interested in is execution. The execution is driven by [...]

What’s The Hurry? Live In The Now.

In the world of sports and life in general, we seem to be in a great hurry to get on to the next thing. So much so that we are distracted from what is happening right now. You need to live in the now. The “present” is the only place anything is ever happening. Take college [...]

The Importance Of Completion

Why is completion important? Our lives are a series of projects; daily, monthly, yearly and, yes, lifetime. The nature of a project is that it has a beginning, middle and end. The project may go through various phases, is naturally ongoing, or needs stepping stones to completion. Ah, completion, the achilles heel for human beings. [...]

It Begins Within – Taking Action

The world is inundated with examples of “what doesn’t work.” From terrorism to our own neighborhoods we have overwhelming examples. It seems to me that there will be no relief, no causing a breakthrough, until actions are taken by the people most directly affected. It is simple really. If I am expecting someone else to [...]

Is Integrity Still “In”?

The basic values and principles for being human are as viable today as they ever were. Or, are they? Have any new ones been invented? Have we given up on any by convincing ourselves they no longer apply? Have our breakthroughs in technology made any of them no longer applicable to daily living? Maybe, I [...]

A Possibility For The Past: Teamwork

People are living longer. This sounds like a good thing. But, is it? It seems to me we are poorly prepared in many ways. Is this due to a lack of ability to handle this situation or is it that we have a weak context for figuring out the actions we need to take? Way [...]

One of the issues in this is that a great deal of the communication learned as children is the antithesis of creating action. We generally acquire a roadblock to action called “NOT.” This “not”and [...]
