A winning business demonstrates three characteristics:
- a positive SPIRIT
- a visionary STRATEGIC PLAN and
- a set of TACTICS
All three must be in evidence.
SPIRIT + STRATEGIC PLAN – TACTICS = CHAOS (systems failure at every level)
SPIRIT – STRATEGIC PLAN + TACTICS = LOTS OF ACTION BUT NO DIRECTION (ladder up against wrong wall)
STRATEGIC PLAN + TACTICS – SPIRIT = DISILLUSIONMENT (people at work with no passion)
But when you put them together:
SPIRIT + STRATEGIC PLAN + TACTICS
You can accomplish anything – and make a difference to everyone you touch.
Which of these represents your business?
