What is your plan?

Nothing drives me crazier than working with an organization that does not have a plan.?

I understand that there are times to wait, there are times for discovery, but there should never be a time when you do not have a plan or are not working on creating one.

Please, please, please – make a plan, then make the time to measure your success against your plan.?

You are driving your people crazy when you don’t have one. Great people have plans for their lives. If you want working in your organization to be part of their long-term plans, you must show them the path.?

Enough of that rant. We have been working through the five questions that Peter Drucker would ask you today if you sought his advice on your organization.?

Today, we are looking at questions number four and five. What are our results? What is our plan?

Every leader must decide what results define success for their organization. Then they must determine how to deliver those results in a plan.

Lastly, we discuss The Four-Way Test and how it will increase the likelihood of good, honest, and ethical decisions if you openly run your decisions through the test (preferably with others).?

Be Blessed!?
