Synopsis

How can executives find a solid foothold for themselves and their organizations at a time of ever-increasing disruption in nearly every industry? Some leaders might say the best response is to move more quickly. But a more strategic approach that begins with identifying goals and a plan to achieve them sets the stage to respond to change more effectively and efficiently. The time-tested, time-honored practices set out in the playbook presented in this monograph can help build individual and organizational momentum and increase the capacity to recognize the need for change and to pivot successfully in this fast-moving world.By incorporating this playbook into your everyday work and life, you will develop a deep organizational competency to reorient to new operating realities and to apply key questions to determine whether to stay the course or adjust your mission. The practices set out here function like a GPS system: You set your starting point and identify your destination. As you proceed toward your goals, you chart your progress and stay alert for potential roadblocks to move around and alternatives routes that might get you there faster. You rely on this system to help you “recalculate” as you navigate purposefully to achieve your goals and objectives. This playbook is designed to bring clarity to your journey and the points along the way when it may be necessary to recalibrate your path. It sets out a discipline that can be applied at both an individual and organizational level. As you learn to integrate these practices in pursuing your professional and personal goals, consider the impact on a business if each member of the executive team worked together to apply the same approach. Imagine everyone in a department moving forward together, equipped with the means to recalibrate as a team on key aspects of the mission when necessary. Then imagine this capacity deployed at an enterprise level. The power of this playbook increases exponentially with wider adoption and makes the organization more “energy-efficient” when it is necessary to pivot en masse to respond to evolving market demands, technological shifts, or economic conditions. At The CEO Corner (www.theceocorner.com) you will find additional components, available for free, to support this monograph: (1) an audio narrative that reinforces and offers additional examples of how to use and adapt the playbook and (2) a downloadable version of the playbook in Excel format. Read and listen along as you begin to develop and incorporate your playbook into your daily progress toward your goals and purpose. And check back regularly with the website, where we will continue to share podcasts and articles from business leaders about how they rely on their own versions of a playbook.
