Couple of months ago, I started to develop a strong interest on the “Execution” require to materialize the Reality I aspire to live in.
That paradigm shift don’t emerge by coincidence, it was the result of personal reflections about a pattern that gained traction during conversations and meetings.
It goes as follows: “It is common that when a problem is under scrutiny, and leaders and teams are inquired about the reasons or causes. Most of the time there is an Analysis in process, a Diagnosis that is almost ready, that same day a Meeting was schedule to discuss the issue and my favorite one is when ‘Alignment’ is needed and the meeting for that too is already set 😄.”
None of the above are action oriented statements, but procastination and loops that put the vision even farther.
So, the posture I’ve been working is that “Vision means Direction”, this is important because when direction is in place, taking action position us closer to that desire state. Those actions when anchored on Execution increases the odds of bringing the Vision closer instead, not just by Analysis alone.
Lets not confuse “Means” with “Ends”. Vision is aspirational, however Execution is what gives us the chance to bring to life those futures states that are built with the actions of today!
Will you be more execution oriented? Will you play to Win? Or will you play not to lose?
