Do you have a clearly communicated strategic plan?
07-Jan-2010
Research in the UK by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), shows that employers are still failing to communicate their business plans - and are missing out on fully engaging their employees as a result.
In the survey only 24% of employees said their managers had clearly articulated their 2010 strategic plan to their company.
Even more worryingly, 32% of employees doubted that their managers had a plan for their business at all !!
Perhaps as a result of this, only 27% of employees said they felt fully prepared for the challenges they would face at work in the year ahead.
Has your company clarified and communicated your Strategic Plan for 2010 and beyond?
Prove it! Ask your people the following 6 questions. The quality and consistency of their answers will provide you with a quick reality check on how effectively you are leading your people:
- What are our company's Core Values?
- What does our company do (our Strategic Position in the marketplace)?
- What is the #1 benefit we offer our customers (our Brand Promise)?
- What is the long-term ambitious goal (BHAG) we want to achieve in the future?
- What are the key Strategic Moves we need to make in order to achieve our goal?
- What are the top 3 Action Priorities we need to implement this coming quarter?
How well did your team answer these questions? Are you happy with the outcome?
