In this blog I want to talk again about success. How to make the jobs that you're running successful, and these are what I call the “4E’s”. If you have these 4 E’s” then the ultimate chance of you being successful is guaranteed.
As we go through this exercise, ask yourself the following questions does my project have these 4 E’s?
Energized
The leaders, the managers, the employees need to be energized.
Energizing Others
Are we energizing our employees, our customers, our suppliers, our workmates?
Edge
Do we have the ability to give “yes” “no” answers to make decisions? Trillions of dollars are lost in the US through indecision, procrastination. Is this happening in your organization? Is this happening in your project team? It is better to make the wrong decision, than have no decision at all. Nobody feels their mistake like the person who makes it, and they will quickly put it right once they realize they have made a mistake.
Execute
Deliver your results on time. Deliver against the plan.
