It's so easy to be critical of your teams and it takes a lot of courage, self-awareness and self-management to take responsibility for your own emotions, behaviours and actions. The ability to perform, or outperform, your competition is an indication of where energy and focus are getting directed inside the business.
Until now businesses have thought of value in different ways across the organisation. The Positive Impact Model connects individual behaviours to cultural values to brand values to shareholder value in a comprehensive and congruent manner.
Stay aligned to your values. Once you act towards becoming more productive for yourself, you will naturally reduce the internal conflict from acting in negative ways, with toxicity, or involving yourself in politics. It becomes much easier to stay within your values when you are maintaining a strong work ethic.
It starts affecting general wellbeing and employees start fearing underperformance, petty criticism and job loss. The issue is that everyone is spending more time on politics and less time focused on delivering their work.
In order to evaluate a school fairly, in addition to grades, consider the values that you are most passionate about that you want your child to learn. Values are not taught in class, they are demonstrated in the behaviours of the adults, especially authority figures, and other pupils.
Continuous focus ensures constant alignment and increases the touchpoints where your business stays relevant to your customer. All too often many businesses get so caught up in doing what they always have done, they lose this customer engagement and this decreases loyalty.
As a framework, the Positive Impact Model takes self-reflection and mindfulness as a given. Without them personal development cannot take place. Using a hierarchy of criteria, the model determines the value and impact of particular behaviours, skills and strategies.
Adopting a growth position means reframing your perspective on your market. It's an immediate pattern-break which you can apply today and stop your market decline. Entire markets do not disappear overnight, while major brands and businesses do.
Ditch the trial and error first position and invest the effort in moving your strategies into a complex multi-level level approach. Change your traditional linear ways of seeing your career, business and industry and start pacing your future while delivering on the demands required in the now.
