“Vision and priorities should precede actions. Actions should be judged through the prism of how the firm adds value and the key competencies it seeks to build.” ActionValuesVisionPrioritiesFirmJudged Author:Robert S. Kaplan
“One reason leaders don't delegate is they haven't been sufficiently clear with the team regarding their vision and key priorities - so that the team understands where the firm is going. If everyone is on the same page, it's a lot easier to delegate effectively.” ReasonLeaderVisionTeamPrioritiesFirm Author:Robert S. Kaplan
“Change efforts happen when a firm is out of alignment with achieving its vision. If the organization has broad buy-in on a clear vision, the need for change becomes much clearer. It also helps to over-communicate what you're doing and why you're doing it. Lastly, the leadership needs to spend as much time on "how" changes are being made and "what" changes are being made. Human beings are involved and there are winners and losers.” HelpingEffortVisionAchieveWinnerFirmLoserAlignment Author:Robert S. Kaplan
