All too often in schools we focus on historic data to make decisions—enrollment, fundraising, facility expansion, you name it. As noted here, "lagging indicators result from past decisions. Leading indicators point to future problems or opportunities." We should seek our early warning signs of change in two places—our customers (parents, faculty/staff) and our competitors. A valuable reminder to seek feedback early and often and know your neighbors. #independentschools #strategicplanning #leadership #futurefocused

What’s your impact? Have you ever thought about that when it comes to your business or personal life? Wrapping up an awesome week in Oklahoma City with a client and we ended it talking about impact. Making money can and is a great feeling. Money is energy and when you figure out how to get it to flow your way, it creates a lot of positive emotions. But it isn’t everything. So what do you do with that money? How are you using it to create more impact in the world around you? Our focus is on giving a substantial amount of adjusted net income to causes that support science, discovery/research, and motivational leadership. To create more light in this world. To change the world by changing the world around us. And this gets me up every morning with energy and excitement. How are you using your resources like money to create more impact?

This simple question is a secret weapon to becoming more successful. #business #executiveleaders #leadership

ACTIONS WITHOUT STRATEGY ARE DOOMED TO FAIL! A lot of people ask me what they should do to bring about change. Should they march in the streets? Use social media? Set up a hackathon? Plan a bg launch event. Yet actions without a sound strategy are doomed to fail. To be effective we must mobilize people to influence institutions. We’re always mobilizing somebody to influence something. And those are the two questions we need to ask of every action we take: Who are we mobilizing and to influence what? To truly change the world, we need to learn to see it differently. We can’t just fight the same losing battles, over and over again. We need to redefine the terms of our struggle in ways that bring relative strength to bear against relative weakness and tilt the playing field to our advantage. The status quo always has sources of power keeping it in place. These sources of power always have an institutional basis and form pillars supporting the current state. It is only through influencing these pillars that we can bring about genuine change. That's why you start with targets. Identify the institutional pillars that support the status quo. Then you can design tactics to influence them. This video explains how to do that.
