Simple leadership musings from the trenches: intended outcomes

There's no such thing as "no outcomes or results"...We're always getting an outcome - it may just not be the one we originally wanted. If it's not the outcome you intended, look back, what do you need to do differently to shift it? Even more importantly, back up...were you clear on what the outcome was in the first place (and did you communicate it?) This does not have to be a huge or complicated undertaking; more often than not it has to do with the beliefs and energy that are going into creating those results. (Remember: what you believe drives what you do, drives what you have - individually and/or as a team.) And of course, gratefully, sometimes, it's just a simple need for a change in strategy or tactics.
