Abstract: The author says there are two types of results leaders achieve, standard results and deep results. All leaders know what standard results are, but few leaders know what the results are profound. In the long run, the standard results, though necessary, are far less important than deep results.
How do you get the results in depth? There are many trails on this mountain. But the road is straight and steep and clear. This is the path to the Leadership Imperative.
I bring people in a way that not only achieve results but WE NEED become even better as leaders and as people.
The imperative has two parts: one on the achievements and the other is self-improvement.
You never have a leader as powerful as when, in results, you help others be better than what they are - even better than they thought they could be. Leadership guided by the imperative, you will find a realization of the deep.
Deep results are not a measure or direction. I'm not a central objective. It is a process to be. They are not something achieved. I am a construction - taking place in a special place in a special moment, but in any place at any time.
You are deep results before you know. Although the results are easy deep, though often not easy.
We have this mind / body in this space-time continuum. We know. But to achieve it, we must live it. To live, we must seek it in our lives. And who know and experience and research results is profound.
The task before us reveals our heart to shoulder the world. Deep results demonstrate our soul to the world.
Examples of deep results:
- With the disasters of the Franco-Prussian war collapse of Paris, an exceptional event took place, the word of which spread like wildfire through the city. The great writer Victor Hugo in exile for 19 years, he returned to Paris. Traveling through the German lines, cross-country devastated by war, had come to town practically the last train. He had come to share the suffering with the Parisians in their darkest hour when his arrival meant virtual imprisonment of the city. Throngs gathered at the station to cheer. A man on the crowd shouted: "If Victor Hugo defeat us, we could not be better rewarded!" - Results profound.
- Doug Collins, a member of the '72 U.S. Olympic team that eventually lost the gold medal on a disputed call the Soviet Union, describes the dramatic moments at the end of the game. We are losing by one. The Soviets have the ball. The clock is running out. I hide behind the center, leaving a boy throwing a pass, throw and catch him loose. A Russian is beneath me as I go for the lay-up. I KO for a second. The coaches run toward me. John Bach, one of the assistants says, 'We need to find someone to shoot the fouls. "But coach Hank Iba said: 'If Doug can walk, he'll shoot.' This has me excited. The coach believed in me. I do not even remember feeling any pressure. Three dribbles, spin the ball, launch it, like in my backyard. The Hit 'em both and took the lead. I'm not the' know what has been done before. "profound results.
- Herb Rammrath, a client of mine from General Electric in late 1980, told me this. "I was a young naval officer reporting with many new sailors aboard an aircraft carrier. The captain brought together in a formation flight deck. He shook my hand and went down the line greeting many other sailors. I did not think nothing of it until several weeks later, when he passed by me in a corridor. He said, 'Hello, Herb!' I have never forgotten. He remembered my name despite the fact that he had met dozens of new sailors that day. It 'been a huge impact on me until this day. "Profound results.
- Seeing abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison dragged by a rope in a street in Boston, Wendell Phillips became so outraged that he joined the abolitionist movement and became one of its most effective activists. profound results.
Many people go through their career is profoundly ignorant. But when you view your career as a whole, do not believe that the ultimate criterion of your life should be the results in depth? the results are not about getting deep but not give, to do, but becoming, not the accumulation of material, but an enrichment of human relationships. From now on, thinking about getting results in your work and your career, think too deeply of the results must be achieved.
