 Too often, leaders conflate activity with results. In other words, we presume that the more we are doing or planning, even if toward a shared goal or mission, will result in consequential outcomes. This is not always the case, however. Leaders frequently find themselves frustrated by the lack of success in achieving intended outcomes when it seemed as if there was so much energy being put into the activity of reaching the goal. The key to meeting this challenge is to devise tangible and repeatable processes to measure outcomes. How will we know when we have achieved a milestone or completed a mission or task? Can the leader define success and then measure movement toward the goal? By taking time up front to define the way success will be measured, will allow leaders and team members to guide their path and make corrections toward true success. Lead well this week.
