Implementation

Vision, measurable goals and strategies to actualize it, are some of the stuff of leadership.
-All levels of leadership.

We spend many hours imagining a preferable future for our organizations and our personal lives. Some times we spend even more time and energy to shape those pictures into the sweeping eloquent words of a vision statement. It takes time, energy and money to get something inspiring written on the wall. Be that the wall of your company foyer, the office, or the wall of your imagination.  The question is, is what is written on the wall happening down the hall?

The same question applies to the big multi million corporation, the small to medium enterprise, our families and households, as well as our personal and private lives.Whether you are dreaming of corporate success or personal fitness and health. Whether  you are trying to save money for a holiday trip, or planning another take over:

A Strategy is only as good as it's implementation.

You may have wonderful measurable goals, all worked out and lined up. They might even have time lines -as any respectable goal should have. But nothing will happen without strategies: -Those things that needs to happen or be done, so that the set goals can be met, by when they should be met and the whole dream can start to fall into place........!  Having said all that: The best strategies or plans, will still accomplish nothing on their own: They need to be implemented.

Sometimes we have wonderful dreams, lofty ideas and great plans about things that we want to accomplish, but many times we don't really dó anything to make it happen.  Many of us procrastinate -only to chastise ourselves later.

I have observed that many times the simplest most elementary plans, have spectacular far reaching results -simply because someone took responsibility to see that it actually gets done!
