Where Top Executives Take Flight

Preparing For Take-off

Incorporating the 4 elements of flight – lift, weight, thrust, and drag – into your  Strategic plans can help you achieve your goals faster,  with less stress. 

By focusing on lift, you can identify the key factors that will help your business rise above the competition. 

Addressing weight can help you eliminate unnecessary burdens and streamline your operations. 

Thrust is what propels your business forward, and identifying the sources of your momentum can help you stay on track. 

Finally, drag can cause resistance and slow you down, so it is important to identify and address any obstacles that may be holding you back.

Recognize Achievement

Take steps to remove blocks that keep you from your full potential. Create a culture of innovation, learning and growth, recognize individual and team achievements. Consider this, “what gets recognized gets repeated.”

Your results can be better, with less oversight, while improving team self-sufficiency. Cultivate a culture of employee appreciation, recognition programs clearly improve morale.

Regular check-ins, open communication, and clear performance metrics are simple tactics to keep your team engaged and enthusiastic, even during challenges or setbacks.

Ensure such a program is geared towards everyone in your organization.

Organize an over-site committee which includes a cross-section of your workforce to recommend outstanding performance.

Celebrate Bigger Wins

Innovative leadership converts to more successes. Beyond just reaching your goals, celebrate your wins. Create openings for greater comradery to build morale and motivate your people to achieve even more.

Employing ways and means to celebrate wins communicates the importance and value of your mission. Birthday and anniversary cards demonstrate you care about your people.

The key is to align your company culture and values with your employees, together on a common vision of purpose and success. Plan celebrations that truly resonate with your team. These will have a positive impact on your workplace.

An annual outing or party provides an opportunity to publicly acknowledge the dedication of individuals and teams with awards.

Reject Limiting Beliefs

Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. Keep your motivation in perspective; “For the sake of what, does your company exist?” How does it plan to achieve its goals, and what the business becomes? Sharp vision, mission, and purpose statements provide your company with direction and focus.

Vision describes the desired future state of your company. An inspiring goal of overarching optimism, with an emotionally driven long term destination. It motivates you and your team.

A mission statement identifies precisely what the organization does, and who it will serve. It speaks about the performance of the business, its products, and services and to what end.

A Purpose Statement is an explanation of your company’s motivations, reasons for being, and why it works the way it does. Purpose-driven businesses outperform competitors and attract enthusiastic employees and customers.
