Nimble Leader Volume I: Create Unrelenting Focus on Achieving Results

Throughout Nimble Leader (six volume series), we explore key concepts that have proven to be practical, useful, and applicable to achieving sustained improvement in business performance over the long term. In Volume I: Create Unrelenting Focus On Achieving Results, you are exposed to the ‘five touchpoints’ that meld strategy with leadership behavior to deliver outstanding business results: (1) Market Position – what you stand for in the minds of your customers – is EVERYTHING; (2) Your ability to ‘give and receive’ information sits at the epicenter of decision-making, speed, execution, and performance; (3) Six variables! A quantitative and facile understanding of how Market Position relates to Price management, Volume sales, product and service Mix, Cost expenditures, and Working Capital management is absolutely essential to delivering tangible business results; (4) A quest to build self-awareness within, among, and across leaders in your organization is the starting point to effecting change in leadership behavior; (5) Practice, practice, practice. Then . . . practice some more. Think of one example of demonstrated excellence where practice was not a critical element in achieving excellence. Not possible! Volume I of Nimble Leader represents a synopsis, a CliffsNotes, of the entire Nimble Leader Series. We give you everything, up front! The five touchpoints are then expounded upon in much greater depth in Volumes II – VI. In reading Volume I of Nimble Leader, you are provided the flexibility to choose additional volumes that warrant further drilldown, exploration, and reflection – at your own pace!
