CHOOSE A TOPIC

Nobody follows the plan

You have a plan. It might even be a good one.

Every priority feels urgent

Everything on the list is marked important. You start the week with a plan and end it having handled one urgent request after another.

Goals get set in January and forgotten by March

The year starts with energy. There is a planning session, maybe an offsite, and a list of solid goals.

There is no written plan at all

The plan lives in your head. You know roughly where you want the business to go, but nothing is on paper.

The team can't say what we're aiming for

Ask five people on your team where the company is headed and you will hear five different answers, or polite silence.

New ideas keep crowding out unfinished ones

There is always a new idea: a new service, a new market, a new software tool, a new way of doing things.
