Greetings!
What’s your dream?
|
| Just
recently, we celebrated the birth of the great orator
and civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
(www.thekingcenter.org).
Undoubtedly, one of the orations for which he is most
remembered is his “I Have a Dream” speech
delivered on August 23, 1963. In it, he stated, “And
so even though we face the difficulties of today and
tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply
rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that
one day this nation will rise up and live out the
true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths
to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”
It’s
interesting to me that, as a country, we had to
strive and fight for the equality of all in order
for us to, in this new millennium, begin to honor
and celebrate our diversity.
For
those of you who might be interested, you can see
a video of that historic speech at www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/Ihaveadream.htm.
Everyone
has a dream. Again, I ask, ”What’s yours?
With whom have you shared it? What are you doing
about it?" |

Feature
Article: Leadership That Transforms…&
Delivers - EXECUTION
So how does one transform
seed to blossom and then to fruit?
|
 |
| 
|
|
|
This series of articles, “Leadership that
Transforms…and Delivers” has addressed
many aspects of this discovery and revelation
process. Our discussions over the last several
months have covered leadership and values, vision,
trust & integrity, motivational style and
planning. (Review these recent topics in my newsletter
archives). Execution is the next link in the
chain. Actually, when I started writing this,
I thought execution would be the last link, but
having spent the last several months dwelling
in this arena, I can now see that it doesn’t
even stop there.
That’s
the nature of critical thinking and writing, I
believe. There is always more onion to peel back.
What now appears as the next step is measuring
and assessing the execution and incorporating
what’s been learned back into the process
and refining what’s already been done. (But
I digress. We’ll talk about that next month.)
To
execute is “to carry out fully; to put into
effect; to do what is called for…”
(Merriam Webster, 1994). Execution is
the enactment of the plan, the discharge of duties
and as such, an expression of accountability and
responsibility. It allows for the fulfillment
of the dream and the delivery of one’s purpose.
Execution
takes attention and intention. You’ve probably
heard the phrase, “The devil is in the details”.
Great execution is all about attending to the
details; doing what needs to be done and doing
it well. It’s the “doing it well”
part that often trips us up.
So
what gets in the way of “doing it well”?

PIP Tip |

Act
- don’t think! Once you've done all
of your visioning, communicating, planning
and anticipating, act – don’t
think. Thinking conjures up fears and worries
and a tendency to procrastinate (for some
justifiable reason). Don’t succumb
to it.
