The Ingredients Of Performance Excellence - BHAG, TINA, And The Two P's -- a TIME TO LEAD! e-Doc

In this article, Oren Harari talks about "leaders who show a backbone of passion -- total unequivocal commitment and optimism -- and precision -- obsessive, disciplined vigilance in gathering details and seeking truth." How do they do that? He explains the importance of BHAG (big, hairy, audacious goals), TINA (There is no alternative!), and "two P's" -- passion and precision. Why are these necessary? "In too many organizations," Harari says, "managers labor over the wording of a hollow mission statement or the nuances of a bland strategic plan, and then wonder why competitive success doesn't result." Great missions and plans have to be DRIVEN, says Harari, who is the author of numerous books and articles. This e-Doc is published by BrownHerron Publishing, with permission.
