When Captain Picard issued that command, the inference was:

• we know what we have to do
• I don’t need to know the detail
• I just want you to get on with it

and, of course, the assumption is that you have a team of people around you who know:

• what to do
• how to do it
• why they are doing it
• how they will be measured
• when you want it for

perhaps most important of all:

• they want to do it for themselves and
• they want to do it for you

The very essence of leadership, management and delegation.

So when I’m with a client who bemoans the fact that they “don’t have enough time to get everything done”, I know I’m with a client who needs (more) coaching on leadership, management, delegation, vision, plan, goals – and, critically, team-building.

The very bed-rock of your success is a fabulous team who know the who, what, when, where, why answers.

Make it so.
