Execution, by Chris McChesney
Click Image to watch session preview
As a leader in your organization, you know how difficult it is to cascade the goals and vision from the top into actionable behaviors among frontline workers to achieve critical objectives. How much time is spent on activities that aren't aligned with your organization's goals? Without question, execution is one of the most critical challenges facing leaders today. Recent research shows:
- Only 10% of managers are truly focused on what matters most to their organization. 90% of managers are typically either distracted or disengaged from key priorities
- Information workers typically devote only about 40% of their time to organizational priorities or tasks directly related to the organization's mission-critical objectives
- A recent estimate of the cost of low productivity of "actively disengaged workers" is $300 billion
Getting your people and teams to do the right things at the right times-the wildly important projects, tasks and initiatives that ultimately matter most-remains a huge challenge for organizations today.
- What are the business effects from the lack of clarity, focus and execution?
- What needs to change in order to adequately address these issues?
- What actions can you, as a leader, take to create a stronger culture of execution within your organization?
The FranklinCovey execution solution was developed in partnership with experts Ram Charan, Jim Collins, and Harris Polling. We will review ground-breaking research by FranklinCovey and Harris Interactive on the six barriers to execution and discuss methods to measure and increase your organization's execution capability.
Please join us for an engaging discussion with your peers around the relevance of these questions and the practical, measurable steps you can take to lead your teams to execute on the highest goals of your organization.
