Napoleon Hill created a definition of power as:
“Organized Knowledge Intelligently Applied”.
Just four words.
- Organized means available when you need it, in the form you need.
- Knowledge is not just data, it is what to do.
- Intelligently or “strategically” means for a clearly defined purpose.
- Applied means action is taken in the real world.
Deming spoke about the massive waste in the world due to our continued struggling under “wrong theory”. You know, like when your business is stuck – and your answer is to “work harder and longer”.
Just like talking louder and louder to people who do not understand your words.
My strength is in helping people move between levels. Check purpose and strategy at 30,000 feet, then deliver precise action at ground level, then review from 30.000 feet. Use power effectively.
A system cannot adjust itself, it must have external intervention. And the “power” of every system is determined by the process with which it is created.
Your coach can help you step outside, analyse, determine what to change, then step back in and move ahead.
