Do you lead effectively for both success and satisfaction?

October 8, 2024 by Mike Russell Leave a Comment

Worried about the economy?

Looking to increase efficiencies/productivity?

Make sure everyone is contributing to the bottom line?

If so, consider actions that affect both success AND satisfaction …

Why?

You can achieve either success or satisfaction alone.

Focusing on one, though, is not a good idea. Very few businesses can survive and thrive long-term that way. Or even short-term if you must take major actions to weather economic storms.

Unfortunately, research indicates focusing on both isn’t common. 90%+ of leaders have a strong inclination toward success or satisfaction … not both.

  • Success is results like better efficiency, productivity, competence, and profitability.
  • Satisfaction is more oriented toward enjoyment, relationship strengthening, and increasing commitment. This is usually reflected in higher morale, engagement, dedication, loyalty and passion.

The key is to recognize the preference and work toward high performance in both.

We have an assessment to help you with this.

It describes your your current ability to consistently achieve both success and satisfaction, along with suggestions for any improvements.

If you are a leader, contact us to try the assessment for free.
