Overview

You are a leader. You have what it takes to positively influence people. Yet you may find that your business isn't as nimble and good things don't happen continuously, or you fear you are going to lose your nimbleness as your business matures. Good leaders anticipate, poor leaders react. Great leaders orchestrate change to generate extraordinary momentum, and to never stall.

The Pivot introduces four stages of a well-orchestrated Pivot, and identifies six Key Indicators to track, starting now, as you position for a performance breakthrough:

Clarity get clear and be clear (about strategy, including vision, purpose, values and direction)

Mastery Mindset open, growing mind

Nimble Decision-making best next step

Strategic Thinking play the movie (think through to the likely end before a judgment call)

Talent Adaptability roles fit strategy

Coaching manager as coach

This book serves you, the leader, in better orchestrating change and achieving momentum for your business, while creating a great workplace.
