Do you know what the most successful and sustainable organizations often get right? I’m not talking about strategy, vision, or personnel… Don’t get me wrong, those things are essential. I’m not arguing they aren’t. There’s another critical component that contributes to whether an organization reaches its vision or not. I’ve served as CEO of an organization that tripled revenue, executed 20+ M&A’s, and grew into new global markets. We had a well-defined strategy, a clear vision, and excellent people in the organization. With all that said, do you know what was one of the biggest drivers of sustained growth and success? Patience. The #1 reason companies abandon well-designed strategies is a lack of immediate results. Without immediate results, stakeholders can get nervous and when that happens, well-designed strategies can get abandoned.

You’re likely (not guaranteed) to be better off in the long run, but it takes more time. So how can leaders instill patience in their organizations to see these strategies through?

“There are two critical reasons for costs creeping back up: most organizations fail to address the root causes of their cost challenges, and most lack the discipline required to manage them holistically and continuously. There is a better way to achieve cost competitiveness and enduring efficiency — one that yields significant additional benefits. Leaders who understand the forces contributing to cost creep and who respond decisively can use freed-up resources to grow and support strategic priorities.”
