Unlocking Your True Potential

‘Focus has always been the key to long-term success. As the forces that drive our focus shift, so must our strategies and systems adjust to keep us ahead of the game.’ George Lee Sye ___________________________________________ Every business leader on the planet wants their company to grow and maximise its potential to generate sustainable value for all stakeholders. The way to achieve that is not rocket science. The actions and strategies to engage in can be found on the web, in text books, and through modeling the most successful companies inside and outside your industry. SO WHAT’S THE PROBLEM? The business world has evolved quite significantly over the past 2 decades. The shift has resulted in six major problems arising that prevent you from realising your potential as a leader and your organisation’s potential as a vehicle for creating stakeholder abundance. 1. Leaders are Managing Behaviour The behaviour management techniques developed during the past ‘industrial age’ focus on controlling people. When the ‘leash of control’ is placed on people today, the real talent and potential of individual employees is not realised. With the choices available to every person in our society, leaders must shift their approach and create a scenario where their people are totally committed to outcomes, and they participate in innovation and continual improvement. Controlled people are only engaged to a level of compliance and never unleash their talent to its full extent. 2. Reactive Psychology Underpins the Culture Most people today live in reaction. So many demands are placed on them that they only work on their health when it is a problem, or their relationship when it starts to break down, or their wealth when they realise they are going to retire broke. This subconscious pattern of reactivity underpins the culture of an organisation, and proactive growth will always be difficult to achieve. We find managers shift their focus to succession planning when they resign, or a supervisor focuses on waste elimination when a cost reduction initiative is rolled out, or an employee focuses on their safety after a work mate is injured. 3. Movement without Direction Busyness does not produce results, yet far too many people in every organisation are extremely busy but not moving towards any specific outcome of value. The need to have direction permeate to the lowest levels of an organisation has never been greater, nor more challenging to achieve. 4. Compression of Time and Focus With our maturity in the use of computers and modern technology, we now realise the 2 big lies told to us so many years ago - technology will give you more time and make the paperless office a reality. Technology is now compressing people’s time and pre-computer time management techniques are no longer relevant. Prioritisation and personal efficiency methods must now being replaced by a new generation in personal leadership techniques that suit the modern world, and result in time and focus expansion, and working at the appropriate level in an organisation. 5. Misaligned Systems Create Internal Competition Systems that create internal competition limit the performance of any organisation. Our goal now is to align systems more effectively so they create a state of collaboration on execution and growth, and joint benefit in the outcomes achieved. 6. Low Trust and Accountability, High Bureaucracy The first five problems all contribute to a situation where trust and accountability will be low, and leaders get drawn into situation of action and behaviour management. The utilisation of bureaucratic methods to get things done to a level of satisfaction underpins the way a company’s meetings are conducted, how boss to employee conversations takes place and how upward reporting takes place. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF REMARKABLE COMPANIES The characteristics of remarkable companies today reflect the successful elimination of these problems. Fully utilised talent and realised potential at the individual level Proactive improvement at work and at the home - a state of genuine work/life balance Alignment of direction and clearly understood purpose across the organisation Expanded time and focus, all supervisors and managers working at higher levels (less detail) Aligned systems that drive collaboration towards similar outcomes and mutually beneficial rewards High trust, high accountability and the elimination of bureaucracy Can this be achieved in any organisation? Of course it can - but not without change to the existing paradigms. ___________________________________________ SOARENT VISION’S GROWTH ACCELERATION MODEL - A 21ST CENTURY INNOVATION Soarent Visions model for value growth is one of the most effective strategies in the world today for rapidly shifting thinking and culture to one that fits today’s environment, and embedding the characteristics of remarkable companies in your organisation.

When a whole department, division or business unit participate with their partners in this coaching event, the shift in thinking, beliefs and behaviour will simply astound you. However, there is one proviso - it requires top down participation. OLD METHODS NO LONGER WORK Rolling out a Lean or Six Sigma program on its own won’t do it anymore as most leaders that do that are now finding out - it must be integrated into your system of growth and execution as a tool for improvement that everybody can access. To do listing and prioritisation methods never result in more effective work. They simply drive focus on tasks driven by demand and deadlines, irrespective of outcome. To do lists and prioritisation methods were designed for life before the proliferation of computers and information technology. Increasing reporting frequency achieves nothing more than more of what is not working now, less productivity, compressed time, more stress, diving into detail, greater levels of compliant behaviour and turnover of high performers. ___________________________________________ HOW CAN SOARENT VISION HELP YOU?
