The Amazing Hoopla Team That Will Change Your Work Life Forever!

/in /by

Admit it. The first time you heard the phrase “Hoopla Team®” – maybe last week, or last month, or ten seconds ago, in that headline – you rolled your eyes. Oh yes you did.

But if you have heard it before, you probably also heard about the remarkable turnarounds that are happening across the country when leaders get serious about the transformation of their workplace culture – a transformation that has the Hoopla Team smack dab in the center of it.

The Proven Formula for: Winning the Execution Game

/in /by

Execution is everything. Plan all you want, dream all you can, then turn that key or you’ve accomplished nothing. Execution is what separates those who merely have lofty ideas from those who end up winning the game. It’s about taking strategies and making sure they are implemented with power.

Creating a culture of execution is a leadership issue. It combines creating a “no-excuses, get-it-done” culture with the systems, processes, and accountabilities that ensure things are done consistently and done well.

But it’s also more than a leadership issue. People at every level in an organization can get bogged down in planning and strategizing without ever getting off the pot.

Remember your very first day on the job? Your shoes had a shine like the tiles on the Space Shuttle and the crease in your slacks could have diced celery. The air was somehow fresher, the birds chirpier. You had been hired. You’d been given a chance to excel, a chance to make a difference.

Now contrast that with this morning.

Leadership Inspirations – What Leaders Do

/in /by

“Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there; they cause change. They motivate and inspire others to go in the right direction and they, along with everyone else, sacrifice to get there.”

New Century Leaders

/in /by

What kind of new world leaders should we expect?

Here is one magnifying and surprising solution. I believe we need to teach future business leaders that in our carbon and capital constrained world it is now mission critical to refine all the tools of business to compete on price, quality and social needs. Masters of business administration must also become masters of social needs – from avian and swine flu to energy and environmental matters. I believe this boils down to training to compete for resources and the best minds, while teaching some cultural restraint and leadership skills.
