Leadership: Five 'Absolutes' for Getting High Performance
I want to share these Five Absolutes with you and pass along some specific ideas that I have used to put them into practice.
Absolute 1. Get everyone on the same page: Focus on the purpose of the organization.
This absolute involves creating and maintaining a clear focus on desired results for yourself, your people and your operation as a whole—and create a means to measure progress and performance.
