How True Leaders Execute Plans Without Fail & Celebrate Victories

by Roxanne Emmerich

Execution is everything. Plan all you want, dream all you can, then turn that key or you've accomplished nothing. Execution is what separates those with lofty ideas from those who end up winning the game. It's about taking strategies and making sure they are implemented with power.

Creating a culture of execution is a leadership issue. It combines creating a "no-excuses, get-it-done" culture with the systems, processes, and accountabilities that ensure things are done consistently and well. But it's also more than a leadership issue.

Plan, execute, measure, celebrate

People at every level in an organization can get bogged down in planning and strategizing without ever getting off the pot.

It's easy to guess which things in a company are measured and audited: It's the things that people actually DO and do well. If you want something done with fairly strong consistency, set measurable benchmarks.

But don't forget to put systems in place to see if the benchmarks are being met. If a standard is measured in the forest, and no on is there to audit it--does it make a difference? Not bloody likely. Why should it?

You can't monitor and audit every facet of your business, or you won't have time to run
