Progress and Results Require Action – By Arnie Wohlgemut
Facility assessments and strategic plans for making buildings and businesses more accessible for those with a disability is a big part of my business.
So, I asked myself: why are they not always effective in achieving action?
“A little progress each day adds up to big results.”
In an interview, Richard Kovacevich, former CEO of Wells Fargo Bank, suggested that what provides success and what is difficult to copy is not so much knowing what to do (deciding on the right strategy), but the will to do it.
How true is that!
He goes on to say, “I could leave our strategic plan on a plane, and it wouldn’t make any difference. No one could execute it. Our success has nothing to do with planning. It has to do with execution.”
“To get to where you want to go, you must take the next step in front of you.”
- Start doing those things you could and should do in the plan
- Start doing more than expected of you in the plan
- Start doing important things daily in support of the plan
Successful execution is destiny achieved.
