How to make things happen?

From Inc by Lews Mckewon | June 26, 2013

It is a typical story; a management team that once was laser focused on getting things done suddenly finds itself in dead water;  the motors and rotors are running but nothing gets moving or done.  What must it do to restore action and execution.

Be the third of person who make things happen (the first do not know what happens;  the second watches things happen - is a spectator only;  doesnt care.

l.  Separate planning and doing meetings.  The planners and visionaries might be ticked off by the doing thing.  Get the processors and the operators separately.

2.  Get a thing done.  Depart from the memo and discussion:  sign a PO, have  design, print the tarp, see sample brochure or product prototype.  Show something concrete that has taken place. Do not leave the room without action.  Call somebody who can get things done

3. Add accountability to the plan:  who will do it, when he will do it and submit results and what are the repercussions for non submission  Read more on getting things done
