 Great execution is critical to implementing strategy. But a great execution plan falls flat if there isn’t accountability. This is frustrating and costly. But it can be solved. I’m proud to share a Gravitas Impact podcast on this topic featuring my colleague Mark Green in New Jersey. Based on his Gravitas Impact monograph, Creating a Culture of Accountability, he shares guidance born out of the patterns he and our coaching colleagues around the world have identified working with CEOs and leadership teams from a variety of industries. In this 30 minute podcast, Mark explains the 3 pillars of accountability: 1) leading by example (there’s more to it than you think), 2) role accountability (how it really works) and 3) process accountability (how to make it happen). How can you create a culture of accountability in your company?

Continuing with my article theme over the last few weeks of building a great leadership team, I’m excited to share a Gravitas Impact podcast on the topic from my colleague and mentor Mike Goldman in New Jersey. Based on his newly released book, Breakthrough Leadership Team, he shares his perspective, after thirty years consulting and coaching, that the biggest difference between a great company and mediocre company is the leadership team. It’s the growth “linchpin”, as I call it. In this 30 minute podcast, Mike shares more broadly how to build a great leadership team, and also dives deep into the one biggest challenge to that effort - ensuring the right leaders are on the team.

In last week’s article, I wrote about the three basic elements of a successful strategy. I also mentioned that CEOs and their leadership teams can use other tools and practices to refine their strategy and make it more robust over time. Jim Collins’ flywheel concept, from his best-selling book Good to Great, is one of those refinement tools we use with midsize companies. This Gravitas Impact Premium Coaches webinar by certified coach and colleague Paul Cronin, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, covers how to apply the flywheel concept to strengthen a company’s strategy. In this 60 minute “under the covers” webinar, Paul explains the flywheel concept in detail and how it connects with the 3 key disciplines outlined in Good to Great, shares some great examples of flywheels (including his own as a coach - which, not coincidentally, is very similar to my own), and describes a process for discovering and developing your flywheel.

As we’re now mid-way through the first quarter, I want to underline the importance of annual planning.
Whether you don’t yet do annual planning, haven’t yet gotten to it for 2021, or want to improve, this Gravitas Impact Premium Coaches podcast by senior emeritus coach, and a mentor of mine, Ron Huntington in Seattle, Washington, goes over how to complete effective, rigorous and productive annual planning. In this 30 minute podcast, Ron paints a vivid picture of effective planning by applying his experience as a pilot to the discipline of getting a CEO and leadership team from where they are to their desired destination, as quickly and safely as possible. The process and perspectives he shares mirror the planning I facilitate and coach leadership teams through annually. It’s a disciplined, rigorous, productive, yet tailored process that gets the whole senior leadership team clear on where they’re going and cohesively aligned and committed to how they’re going to get there. And as the COVID-19 adventure continues, having a flight plan to not only survive - if your business has been negatively affected - but to also thrive, and make the best of the opportunities, is critical for organizations.
