Chapter Two / Shift Two: Developing Breakthrough Ambition
How to ensure your change or transformation is truly Breakthrough and inspires your people to take on the impossible.
When developing breakthrough ambition, it’s important to be bold; to be clear about what you really want for your organization and why. Then declare it.
Very often, visions and mission statements are simply not bold enough, nor do they articulate where leaders want to take their organizations. You need to be able to:
- Define what you really want, versus what you think you can do. Management will only break free and achieve extraordinary results when they are engaged with what they truly want, and when they can see the limits of existing customs and practices.
- Create a compelling reason for change.
- Challenge yourself to be bold in your level of ambition: go beyond predictable and expected outcomes.
