CHANGE THE FOCUS. WHAT IF….?
WHAT IF WE CHANGED THE FOCUS FROM PROFITS, COMPETITION AND STAKEHOLDERS, TO A FOCUS ON PEOPLE?
In an attempt to respond to the unknown unknowns and volatile change that has no precedent, leaders of organizations are focusing on the things they have always focused on.
· Short and long term profit
· Shareholder return
· Operational efficiency
· Competition
· Metrics
These were the focus in an industrial age model.
This old lens on business will not enable organizations to transform in a way they must in order to remain relevant and survive.
Organizations will have to re-examine not only how they do business but also how they are led and managed.
The old ways of working will not get you to where you want to be.
What if we stopped focusing on these things and started to really focus on people?
What if we focused on our people and realized those ledger items such as profit, return, competitive advantage, operational efficiency etc. as a result?
