Getting everyone on the same page

I have organised a 9+3 Review Meeting for mid-Oct. Why should I bother doing this? Because there is a need for purpose and direction, so that people feel focused.

In these dynamic and competitive times, it is easy for leaders to feel overwhelmed and perhaps even begin to despair. Modern leaders are being paid to get results and their approach to leading people is critical in any effort to improve performance.

Michael Jordan described it well: "get everyone on the same page"

Focus is critical. The reason is everyone should be able to see the big picture and understand what actions are most important for success. Without focused leadership, getting results becomes difficult if not impossible. In the words of one of my shi-fu (master), "If you are in charge of any group and you want to get things done, then you'd better get everybody singing the same song, or the music you make will be a funeral march."
