- 21. The Power of Clarifying Values Integrity • We will tell the truth. • We will be open to feedback. • We trust each other to speak our minds. • We will always strive to do the right things for the right reasons. Respect • We communicate with candor and tact. • We will be tough on the issue, not on the person. • We value people for who they are and what they bring. www.CharterInstitute.org 21
- 22. The Power of Values Forward-Looking • We dare to be different. • We are willing to take risks. • We are not limited by others. • We strive to exceed expectations. • We inspire growth in ourselves and others. Commitment • We are persistent. • We lead with passion. www.CharterInstitute.org 22
- 23. The Power of Clarifying Values Teamwork • We recognize that no one of us is as good as all of us. • We will put the team goals before our own. • We will collaborate. • We can be relied upon to fulfill commitments. • We are accountable for ourselves and to each other. • We will celebrate our successes and have fun. www.CharterInstitute.org 23
- 24. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team www.CharterInstitute.org 24
- 28. STAGE 1: DISCIPLINED PEOPLE Level 5 Leadership. Level 5 leaders are ambitious first and foremost for the cause, the organization, the work — not themselves — and they have the fierce resolve to do whatever it takes to make good on that ambition. A Level 5 leader displays a paradoxical blend of personal humility and professional will. First Who … Then What. Those who build great organizations make sure they have the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the key seats before they figure out where to drive the bus. They always think first about “who” and then about “what.” www.CharterInstitute.org 28
- 29. STAGE 2: DISCIPLINED THOUGHT Confront the Brutal Facts — the Stockdale Paradox. Retain unwavering faith that you can and will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, AND AT THE SAME TIME, have the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be. The Hedgehog Concept. Greatness comes about by a series of good decisions consistent with a simple, coherent concept — a “Hedgehog Concept.” The Hedgehog Concept is an operating model that reflects understanding of three intersecting circles: what you can be the best in the world at, what you are deeply passionate about, and what best drives your economic or resource engine. www.CharterInstitute.org 29
- 30. STAGE 3: DISCIPLINED ACTION Culture of Discipline. Disciplined people who engage in disciplined thought and who take disciplined action — operating with freedom within a framework of responsibilities — this is the cornerstone of a culture that creates greatness. In a culture of discipline, people do not have “jobs”; they have responsibilities. The Flywheel. In building greatness, there is no single defining action, no grand program, no one killer innovation, no solitary lucky break, no miracle moment. Rather, the process resembles relentlessly pushing a giant, heavy flywheel in one direction, turn upon turn, building momentum until a point of breakthrough, and beyond. www.CharterInstitute.org 30
- 31. STAGE 4: BUILDING GREATNESS TO LAST Clock Building, Not Time Telling. Build an organization that can adapt through multiple generations of leaders — the exact opposite of being built around a single great leader, great idea, or specific program. Build catalytic mechanisms to stimulate progress, rather than acting as a charismatic force of personality to drive progress. Preserve the Core and Stimulate Progress. Adherence to core values combined with a willingness to challenge and change everything except those core values, keeping clear the distinction between “what we stand for” (which should never change) and “how we do things” (which should never stop changing). Great companies have a purpose — a reason for being — that goes far beyond just making money, and they translate this purpose into BHAGs (big hairy audacious goals) to stimulate progress. www.CharterInstitute.org 31
- 32. “ “ “Set the standards higher for yourself than others would set them for you.” — John Maxwell www.CharterInstitute.org 32
- 33. Four Disciplines of a Healthy Organization www.CharterInstitute.org The Advantage 33
- 34. 1: Build a Cohesive Leadership Team Cohesive teams build trust, eliminate politics, and increase efficiency by … • Knowing one another’s unique strengths and weaknesses. • Openly engaging in constructive ideological conflict. • Holding one another accountable for behaviors and actions. • Committing to group decisions. www.CharterInstitute.org The Advantage 34
- 35. 2: Create Clarity Healthy organizations minimize the potential for confusion by clarifying … • • • • • • Why do we exist? How do we behave? What do we do? How will we succeed? What is most important – right now? Who must do what? www.CharterInstitute.org The Advantage 35
- 36. 3: Over-Communicate Clarity Healthy organizations align their employees around organizational clarity by communicating key messages through … • Repetition: Don’t be afraid to repeat the same message again and again. • Simplicity: The more complicated the message, the more potential for confusion and inconsistency. • Multiple Mediums: People react to information in many ways; use a variety of mediums. • Cascading Messages: Leaders communicate key messages to direct reports; the cycle repeats itself until the message is heard by all. www.CharterInstitute.org The Advantage 36
- 37. 4: Reinforce Clarity Organizations sustain their health by ensuring consistency in … • • • • Hiring Managing performance Rewards and recognition Employee dismissal www.CharterInstitute.org The Advantage 37
- 39. Success is … Knowing your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential, and sowing seeds that benefit others. — John C. Maxwell www.CharterInstitute.org 39
- 40. Leaving a Legacy “Lord, as I get older I would like to be known as available more than a hard worker, compassionate more than competent, content, not driven, generous instead of rich, gentle over being powerful, a listener more than a great communicator, loving vs. quick or bright, reliable and not famous, sacrificial instead of successful, self controlled rather than being excited, thoughtful more than gifted, I want to be a foot washer, I want to finish well.” — John C. Maxwell www.CharterInstitute.org 40
