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.
I challenged all leaders I have worked with over the past two decades to achieve "faster results all the time."
They can get on track to start delivering results is not likely to work harder and longer but by slowing down and using Leadership Talks on a daily basis.
However, I also tell them that on the track more, faster results, more is not an end but a beginning. They should then start to focus not only on quantity and speed of results but the kind of results you wish to achieve.
There are about two types of results, standard results and profound results. Most leaders interpret the standard results, but fail to deal with the results of depth. In reality, these leaders go through the entire career getting the first, but do not have a clue about the second. Of course, the standard results are needed. But in the long run, they are much less important than deep results.
We know the standard results. They are the results to be obtained in our jobs, such as: speed, productivity, efficiency and operations, close sales, sales leads, sales to new customers, failure prevention, health and feed safety, quality, training , quality control, logistics efficiencies, marketing objectives, new revenue streams, erosion of sales, calibration price, cost reduction, demand flow activities and technologies, inventory turns, reduced cycle times The materials and parts management, etc.
Whereas the attainment of standard results allows us to do a better job and a career best, the results are very different. deep results are to be better leaders. Of course, being a better leader will have a positive impact on your job and your career. But there is something else: being a better leader means being a better person. Who we are as a leader and we are as a person should be the same. If not, we reduce both our leadership and the person we are.
Look at it this way: the standard results are about "doing", the results are profound about "being". Our greatest achievements as a leader not only what we get, but we are now in that achievement.
For example if we do not get standard results in our work, we can not that work, or at least in that particular aspect of the work.
But in the realm of deep results, such failure could lead to success if that failure, we find a better way to lead a better way to be better.
Here are some ways profound differences results from standard results.
- Deep results emerge for long periods of time.
- Deep results include wider circle outside of your work, usually impact your family, friends and relatives.
- Deep results are often not conventionally successful results. Can be like a failure.
- Deep results can not be quantified. Are usually a quality of life and being.
- Deep results are often not immediately apparent. Usually, we become aware of them after they appear, sometimes long after they appear.
- Deep results are formed in your inner life and your choices about things you control, your views, aspirations and desires.
- Shape Deep results, and are shaped by, nature.
How do you get the results in depth? There are many trails on this mountain. But the road is straight and steep and clear. In the second part, I'll see that path and provide examples of deep results in action.
