Act

Leaders with a clear vision and precise map are eager to implement change. But execution is the most difficult part in navigating any new venture, and new challenges will arise.

Despite the best planning, assessment and analysis, you will encounter unexpected delays. You can overcome many of these by sticking to the method you laid out in your strategic plan, by communicating with your colleagues throughout the journey and by creating a development plan to prepare your leaders and employees for the changes ahead.

Along the way, you may want to consider doing the following:

  • Align the leadership team with the plan/goals. Clarify key objectives and roles and hold everyone accountable.
  • Inform leadership teams about their strengths and weaknesses so that they will be a stronger team.
  • Fill key roles with top talent to develop bench strength for succession planning.
  • Create and implement a development plan for leaders and employees to continue honing critical skills.
  • Develop a succession plan to assure that implementation can survive and thrive, despite any planned or unplanned changes in the future.
  • Create mentoring and coaching programs to encourage employees to reach their potential.
  • Design and implement a communication strategy to make certain that each employee is fully informed of the changes within the company.
  • Employ a plan to engage employees and involve them.

When you encounter a barrier to success, just return to your plan, review your destination and see if there is another route to get you where you need to be. You may need to adjust your strategy, but sometimes the best results come when you reassess your tactics.
