Predict Success.

Inspire Performance.

“Screw your courage to the sticking-point” is a provocative quote from the book Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott.  With it, I am appealing to the competitive, action-oriented, driver leader that you are to increase your expectations and up the ante around the following three issues.

1. Hire A Players.

• “A” players are available, but you must seek them out and give them good reasons to join your firm.
• “B” players diminish your chances of Break-away Success, and they hide.
• Your people are your Key Leverage Points to success. Not processes. Not financials. Your people.
• What you don’t know DOES Hurt Your Performance as an organization.

It has been said that “A” players hire other “A” players, and “B” players hire “C” players.

2. Build Teams.

Once you have them, develop people as individuals and as team players so they are poised to get you and themselves success. They are your greatest asset.

“A” players WANT to be measured!  They love the challenge of a good race.

3. Have conversations that matter.
