ADVICE

Set One Focus And Link Everyone In

  • Do set one clear organizational focus and translate it into local language for each level from dollars to counts.
  • Russell Justice recommends linking everyone in with 'linking in ceremonies' where teams state what they will do to support the focus.
ADVICE

Translate Focus Into Local Language

  • Do translate the single focus into the 'local language' at each level: executives talk dollars, middle managers talk percentages, frontline staff count events.
  • This translation ensures measurable actions align from CEO to frontline.
