Have you created the team that will ask you the tough questions when you're doing this very thing?
Shiny object syndrome is a real thing
We’ve all seen it, heck or even done it ourselves. I know I have.
We have an idea, crystal clean, we get excited, create the strategy, identify the people and we start executing.
And then - we have another idea. And another. We create a cycle of changing courses.
Utilizing resources that were working on the initial idea only to be asked to execute on the new thing, leaving the original work we started unfinished. It creates a culture of:
Chaos
Misutilization of resources
Products and services are not delivered
Confusion
Frustration
And if we’ve surrounded ourselves with “Yes” people, it can create an endless cycle of never accomplishing a darn thing.
If you’re a visionary - great! We need your vision AND it’s imperative that you surround yourself with people that will:
Ask questions - how does this new strategy align with the original vision?
Explain the impacts of making this sort of transition (people, process, technology, clients)
Hold you accountable to finish what was started before moving on the next thing
If you want to achieve what you started out to, you need these people on your team.
It can make the difference of constantly achieving your goals and increasing your revenue or not.
