 Sample Ten3 SMART Lessons  (Slide + Executive Summary)

Balance

Pay attention to both top-line growth and bottom-line results.

Balance the whole, i.e. organizational needs, and the parts, be they large (functions) or small (teams or individuals).

Balance internal (creating value for organization and employees) and external (creating value for investors, customers, and society as a whole).

Leadership

Leadership is more than just having the authority of a management or supervisory position. Authority (or position power) gets you compliance. Leadership (or influence power) gets you commitment. The best leaders challenge the process, inspire a shared vision, enable others to act, model the way, and encouraging the heart.

Innovation

Shift to the new hypercompetitive knowledge-based economy demands a renewed emphasis on innovation. This new economy is led by those who innovate – create, find and/or combine knowledge into new products, services, and distribution methods – faster than their competitors. Innovation is above all spurred by entrepreneurial action, aimed at creating value through the application of knowledge.

Synergy

Corporate strategy seeks to develop synergies by sharing and coordinating staff and other resources across business units, investing financial resources across business units, and using business units to complement other corporate business activities.

Speed

Speed is an indispensable ingredient of competitiveness and a precondition for winning in the new rapidly changing economy. “Speed keeps businesses – and people – young… Speed exhilarates and energizes. It's addictive, and it's a taste you need to cultivate.” (Jack Welch)
 

Leadership Defined

Leadership is the process of directing the behavior of others toward the accomplishment of some common objectives. It is influencing people to get things done – willingly! – to a standard and quality above their norm to achieve a shared stretch goal. As an element in social interaction, leadership is a complex activity involving a process of influence; actors who are both leaders and followers, and a range of possible outcomes – the achievement of goals, but also the commitment of individuals to such goals, the enhancement of group cohesion and the reinforcement of change of organizational culture.

Effective Leadership as a Source of Competitive Business Advantage

Leadership is imperative for molding a group of people into a team, shaping them into a force that serves as a competitive business advantage. Leaders know how to make people function in a collaborative fashion, and how to motivate them to excel their performance. Leaders also know how to balance the individual team member's quest with the goal of producing synergy – an outcome that exceeds the sum of individual inputs. Leaders require that their team members forego the quest for personal best in concert with the team effort.
