Disruption, your catalyst for disruptive thinking.

Massive and constant disruption in markets, industries, and technology should be the key catalyst for both organizations and every individual, at every level in those organizations, to think disruptively about what they do, how they do what they do, and what possibilities exist for doing things differently. No industry or organization is immune from disruption in the world today. Take look at the taxi and hotel/accommodations industries and how disruptive models are impacting their very existence. Look at how people are consuming their media today versus even 5-10 years ago and how traditional brick and mortar retailers are fighting to stay relevant and viable in an industry of massive disruption.

To ensure personal and organizational competitiveness, relevancy, and to thrive not just survive in this environment of hyper change and constant disruption, every individual in an organization, from the most senior to the most junior level, must think disruptively (not act disruptively) on what they do and how they do what they do.

Find possibilities for positive disruption, challenge the status quo where it exists, act with urgency and purpose to make change happen, and most importantly, never stop thinking disruptively. The moment you do, the possibility of being disrupted becomes an every greater reality.

Employee-Led Goal Setting: Accountability

In our final Goal Setting blog our focus turns to Accountability. Establishing clarity, alignment, and now accountability are the primary reasons any individual or organization should set goals. Goals, even if they are clear and completely aligned in the organization are nothing more than a “wish list” if accountability is not established.

When working with coaching clients we use a 4 A model to accountability that moves the goals from well-intentioned to completed. The 4 A’s of Accept, Act, Adjust, and Achieve will give you the framework for goal success.

Accept – Accept that you are accountable for delivering on your goals and the milestones created “no matter what”. Circumstances are going to happen (some even beyond your control) on the road to goal completion, however, once you accept accountability no matter what you will persevere through the obstacles and barriers to find your way to success.

Act – Turn your goals into action. Don’t wait to start and every day chart your progress. This is your personal measure of accountability. Keep your actions and reactions consistent and positive while giving deserving credit to others along the way.

Adjust – We must adjust along the way to goal success! While you don’t have control over all circumstances, you do have control over your reactions and your go forward responses. Be willing to adjust your plans, attitudes, even your perspective and thinking as circumstances dictate. Be persistent but flexible at the same time.

Achieve – Achieve one action, one milestone, one project, one goal at a time. Continually update others as you make progress. This enhances both clarity and alignment. Establish a personal record of success; accountability breeds success.

Now with your goals clear and aligned, with accountability established, if you stay focused on your plan, a firm foundation for 2017 success is set. Now go and make this year the best you have ever had. Wishing you the best in the holiday season and great success in 2017!
