Business Is A Performance Art
Business Is A Performance Art
Strategy tips.
Originally shared by Doherty & Associates
My point here is not to oversell the power of words. Business is a performance art. Saying is not the same as doing. I’m sure you can cite, from your own experience, examples of finely articulated strategies that were poorly implemented, and elaborate strategy banners that were ultimately just wall hangings in branch offices. Alignment is a process — a pattern of choices over time — not a one-shot deal. Even clear statements are not a substitute for behaviors. But I guarantee that, whatever else your people are good at, they are not good mind readers. If you can’t say it, clearly and concisely, then they will have more trouble understanding and executing it.
