“There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things”
- Niccolo Machiavelli
External Factors
You are under higher expectations to do more with less, shorter time tables, more geographic complexity, more market ambiguity, higher turnover, new and complex supplier relationships, new products and processes, employees wanting to be more empowered but somehow who are less engaged, less reliable information, less control, higher risks, less margin for error, but more pressure to respond faster, better, smarter, and lead more effectively.
Internal Factors
“How do I keep BHAG focused and keep pushing and challenging myself and my team when there is so much pressure to just focus on the day to day - to slide back into mediocrity and survival”
“People I respect think I am crazy...I see the opportunities but no one else does - AM I crazy?”
“It would be so much easier to just give up and play it safe - do it the traditional way”
“I can’t be the first person to face this issue - how have other’s solved this problem”
“Am I a good emergent leader or have I abdicated the throne?”
“How do I stay feeling confident, progressive, and successful when everything keeps changing?”
“I swing between feeling passionate and clear and feeling overwhelmed and unsure”
“I think I remember what my family looks like...but what the heck is FUN?”
“I used to feel so sure of myself and my leadership abilities - some days I am not sure I am the right guy for this job or even if I want to do this”
“Everything is a rush job and all I do is fight fires - I haven’t got time to think strategically or even take a breath”
