Yesterday I
had the pleasure of joining 40 of our clients in Oklahoma for an executive
overview titled, Creating a Culture of Trust.Our Regional Speed of Trust Practice Leader,
Donna Burnette, explained to these leaders how trust directly impacts speed and
cost inside a team or organization.
Based on the
best-selling book, The
Speed of Trust, by Stephen M.R. Covey, Donna explained, if trust is low in
your organization, it works like a tax.It costs your organization more money to do the same type of work that
high-trust organizations don’t have to pay.When trust is high, it works like a dividend.It speeds up everything your organization is
working on which ultimately helps increase your bottom line. See the photos
below for the formula explanation.
Trust is the
performance multiplier in your organization.Donna further explained how Trust directly affects employee engagement, the
success of a merger, partnering with stakeholders, innovation within teams and
more.
Trust is the
key leadership competency needed today!If
your team is not performing at optimal levels, consider learning more about our
Speed of Trust
Process.Seats are still available
for our next executive overview on September 18th in Dallas.Contact
me for details.
A little over a decade ago, our CEO, Bob Whitman, was
meeting with his executive coach, Ram Charan.They had a conversation that went something like this…
Bob: “Ram, what
do you think is the next big thing for FranklinCovey?”
Ram: “Bob, the
biggest challenge of the 21st century is no doubt going to be
execution!If FranklinCovey can boil
execution down to a few basic principles like you did for 7 Habits with
individual effectiveness, you’ll hit the mark.”
So after a ton of money and research, we confirmed what Ram
had to say.Over the last decade by
working with nearly a thousand implementations, our Global Execution Practice
Leader and his consultant team has perfected a management process for executing
strategy, known as, The 4 Disciplines of Execution.
Chris not only leads our Execution Practice across the
world, but he also is a best-selling author.His new book, The 4 Disciplines of Execution is flying off shelves.It has become a best-seller with the Wall
Street Journal, New York Times and has received a ton of praise in the business
community.
If you have never
heard Chris speak on the subject of Strategic Goal Execution, you’re missing
out.Chris is probably one of the
most knowledgeable people on the planet on the subject and he is a funny and
dynamic speaker.You can go purchase
Chris’s book at the book store for $28 or you can join other leaders in your
area for one of his book tour-keynote events this year ($29 each for groups of
5 or more / $49 for individuals).
If you would be
interested in letting FranklinCovey help you solve your execution challenge,
let’s talk!We are helping
organizations achieve amazing results like these and I am 100% CONFIDENT we can enable your organization
to execute bettwe and increase your employee
engagement through the process.
In June 2012, my colleague, Mark Murphy, and I wrote a 5-week
series introducing our readers to our newest content, The 5 Choices to Extraordinary Productivity.You can follow this link to read all 5 archived posts.
Today, Mark is going to give you a little more insight to
Choice 5, Fuel Your Fire, Don’t Burn Out.If you are planning to attend Dallas ASTD’s 2012 Southwest Learning Summit on August 14th, consider joining us
for Mark’s breakout session on Productivity.He is going to expand on this topic in more depth.

The Premise: We
all have the potential to do extraordinary things.
The Paradox:In today’s world it’s both easier and harder
than ever to achieve extraordinary productivity.
The very same technology that makes us more productive can
also destroy our productivity.There are
three main reasons.
1)The
sheer number of decisions we have to make on a daily basis.
2)Our
attention is under attack.We get
interrupted every few seconds.
3)We
live in a perpetual crises of energy.
The Promise:
There are 5 choices that, when
consistently made, ensure that you will achieve extraordinary productivity
in your work and your life.
Choice 5 - Fuel Your Fire, Don’t Burn Out, addresses that
last of the three reasons for lost productivity.
What do people with this paradigm do differently?They eat, sleep , relax, and connect with
other people.Of course we all do these things, but people
with this paradigm do them differently.
Watch the following video and see if you can relate?
