Excellence in Execution
The following is an excerpt from an article by DrawSuccess founder and Chief Innovation Officer Brownell Landrum in the November 17 issue of ASTD Links Magazine:
Excellence in Execution
It is the role of CEOs to create plans, but even the best laid plans aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on if there isn’t excellent, if not flawless, execution throughout the organization. This means that not only does everyone know how to perform their specific jobs, but also that the jobs are a good fit for each individual, both of which are a crucial role of training.
Beyond that, however, comes the real challenge: how to involve employees to come up ideas and solutions for higher levels of execution? A CEO can’t possibly know how to do everyone’s jobs better – only the people doing the jobs can! What programs can you put in place to challenge each individual in the organization, from the bottom up, to improve quality, delivery and productivity?
