Not Enough

It is not enough to:

• Tell people to connect the dots if they don't know what and where the dots are.
• Stress results if they don't know the efforts required to produce the results.
• Hold meeting after meeting if the only open conversations take place in hallways and after work.
• Form a team if it has a saboteur or two as members.
• Emphasize urgency if the actions are not directed at a key goal.
• Lead by example and not discuss the related values.
• Complete a mission without learning from it.
• Give an order and not follow-up to make sure that appropriate action was taken.
• Delegate responsibility if people lack the resources and authority needed to fulfill it.
• Take action if the action is purely cosmetic.
