Execution is about getting the right things done – about producing positive results. If purpose is your “why,” and vision is your “what,” then executing is your “how.”   

So, what approach or process do you use to foster a discipline of action? How do you measure your leadership?      

In the Inside First framework, serving is defined a holistic approach to work, promoting a sense of community and shared decision-making.  It is realized when we help others – when they grow.  Servant-leadership has become more and more common in today’s management and organizational development literature and we have embraced it in our thinking.  Being of service to others is seen as a worthy and effective strategy by more and more social sector leaders as well as collaboratively oriented business leaders. 

Question:  What does servant-leadership mean to you?  How might you foster this approach in your organization or community?

“In the Inside First framework, courage is defined as the quality that enables one to face challenges with confidence and resolve.  It’s the moral strength to persevere.   Like humility, enthusiasm, patience and gratitude, courage is a manifestation of a positive attitude.  When you are courageous and step-out to meet a test, you signal to those around you that you can be counted on to do what is required.”
