As you may know, we teach a powerful tool called GWC (Get it, Want it, Capacity to do it), which helps a leader or manager determine if his or her people are in the right seats. A person must get yeses on all three items to be in the right seat. He or she must Get it, Want it, and have the Capacity to do the job.
Here’s a quick nugget, mini passionate plea, and something to think about on your next Clarity Break. I’ve just finished all of my annual planning sessions with all of my clients (30 in total), and they averaged a 16 percent growth rate in 2012. There is an interesting whipsaw effect going on from the downturn of the great recession to the impressive growth of the last three years.
Every year during annual planning, we urge our clients to take a hard look at their core values and make sure they are standing the test of time; to confirm they are still the foundation the leadership team wants to build the company upon; and to make sure they are keeping them alive by hiring, firing, reviewing, rewarding, and recognizing everyone around them.
Last week marked the 500th time I’ve heard a leader utter the words “I can just do it myself in the same amount of time it takes me to teach someone else.” I hear this often, and when I do, I think to myself, “Oh boy, we just lost another one.“
Having world-class, rock-solid weekly meetings will make a difference in achieving your goals in 2013, as well as saving you time and building team health.
