PHASE 3: FOCUS YOUR ORGANIZATION
RESEARCH & QUOTES
JOHN F KENNEDY | PRESIDENT KENNEDY, ADDRESS TO CONGRESS ON URGENT NATIONAL NEEDS, MAY 25, 196
“I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth”
THE 4 DISCIPLINES OF EXECUTION: ACHIEVING YOUR WILDLY IMPORTANT GOALS
“When a team moves from having a dozen we-really-hope goals to one or two no- matter-what goals, the e ect on morale is dramatic. It’s as though a switch exists in every team member’s head called “Game on!” If you can throw that switch, you have laid the foundation for extraordinary execution.”
INFLUENCER: THE NEW SCIENCE OF LEADING CHANGE
“Clear goals aimed at a compelling target can have an enormous impact on behavior because they engage more than simply the brain. They also engage the heart. Research reveals that a clear, compelling, and challenging goal causes the blood to pump more rapidly, the brain to re, and the muscles to engage. However, when goals are vague, no such e ects take place”
“The e ect of providing this clear, compelling, and time-bound target was immediate. It started a whole chain of events that virtually rede ned the organization”
“Don’t put precious energy into strategies that rapidly propel you in the wrong direction.”
STEVE JOBS | INTERVIEW WITH BUSINESS WEEK, 2004
“And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don’t get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We’re always thinking about new markets we could
enter, but it’s only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.’’
TONY MORGAN | STUCK IN A FUNK? HOW TO GET YOUR CHURCH MOVING FORWARD
“Visionary leaders often make the mistake of thinking that their church can grow on vision. While vision is helpful and necessary, getting organized may have more long- term positive e ects.”
