YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC59dect0RJ5cuxIXsX7hCRw KEY TAKEAWAYS Effective strategy execution requires translating the strategy throughout the organisation, engaging individuals at every level, and setting clear expectations for roles and responsibilities. Organisations often make assumptions about their business, leading to ineffective communication and a lack of understanding among employees regarding their contributions to the company's success. Establishing a feedback loop by engaging employees in co-creating and refining the strategy ensures alignment and allows for quick adaptations to changes in the business environment. Implementing a performance measurement system is crucial for tracking progress, identifying areas of improvement, and documenting the organisation's execution journey. Goal setting should be done at every level of the organisation, with near-term goals based on the immediate needs of the company and longer-term goals aligned with the overall strategy. Courageous leadership is essential for successful strategy execution, as leaders must be willing to have difficult conversations and ensure everyone is working in the best interest of the team. BEST MOMENTS "If you can't get the ideas down through the organisation and if you can't get people understanding what they need to do to contribute, then you lose a lot." "Organisations don't execute, people do." "Goal setting needs to be looked at much, much differently if you're going to execute." "Execution takes courageous leadership. You have to be able to have the difficult conversations with your people and work through them on a consistent basis." VALUABLE RESOURCES Like the show?
