The Bridge From Objectives To Execution Is Accountability
| The bridge from objectives to execution is accountability, a bridge that is difficult to construct and requires constant maintenance.
It is the role of leadership to provide the foundation for this bridge – a vision statement which defines where the firm is, where it wants to go, and how it is to get there in terms of detailed strategies and plans. It is management's role to execute the strategies and plans to assure the firm gets to where it wants to go.
In order for the vision statement and its resulting strategies (on one side of the river) to reach the desired results (situated on the opposite side of the river), management must develop and maintain accountability based on the willingness of everyone in the organization to commit to their objectives and personal deliverables.
Accountability and individual commitments comprise the intricate web of the suspension cables and supports of that bridge that allow achievement of the results on the other side.
Maintaining the bridge of accountability is perhaps the most tedious and yet critical of all the steps of execution. Creating commitment plans and gaining individual commitment to achieving objectives must be renewed and reviewed weekly during staff meetings. As we have seen throughout history, bridges that are not maintained will surely collapse. |
