In Leadership, Results Are Limitless
Published on 26 January 2023 in Leadership
Results are limitless. That's not a supposition. That's a fact. Leaders who don't believe that don't understand the power of leadership to achieve great results. Leaders who believe it and live by their belief have an unmatched advantage over those leaders who don't.
The point is this: BECAUSE THINGS CHANGE, RESULTS ARE LIMITLESS. IN OTHER WORDS, WHATEVER RESULTS YOU ARE ACHIEVING, YOU CAN ALWAYS ACHIEVE MORE.
This may seem like a non sequitur. After all, leaders know that things change. But many leaders don't make the connection and fail to realize that results are limitless.
But there is a connection -- a profound connection. And leaders who don't make that connection, don't live that connection, are giving short shrift to their leadership and the people they lead.
Living by the results-are-limitless credo can set you apart as a leader who consistently gets results, no matter what the challenge you face.
Start to take a small but well-defined step to manifest results-are-limitless leadership.
(1) Identify. Identify one thing you think is NOT BEING QUESTIONED. Make sure it is something people believe has "reached the limit of its development." It may be a product or features of a product. It may be the way your organization is structured. It may be a successful engineering program.
(2) Question. Treat it as if it's fundamental premise were false. Can you shoot holes in the logical reasons for its existence? If it ain't broke, see what would happen if you break (change) it � with one end in mind, achieving more results.
(3) Change. See if you can come up with answers that will lead either to replacing what you're questioning or improving it.
(4) Continue. Don't look at this as an academic assignment. It's not homework. It's the beginning of making the credo part of the DNA of your leadership.
Repeat: This as a leadership endeavor. Determine who are the cause leaders you need to make the change happen. Talk to them about how they would take leadership to affect that change. You should not only have "What if ... " discussions but more importantly, "Why not ... "discussions.
