Organisations are perfectly designed for the results they achieve.
~ Paul Gustavson
This is a tough question for many people, because it is a reality check!
Forget about where you should be, could be or will be.
Instead, focus on where you are, now.
Only with acceptance of the situation as it is, can you move forward, meaningfully.
For instance, you may be way off the target for this year, or you may have issues with employee morale, or maybe even waiting for the dreadful axe to fall.
Whatever it is, face it squarely, and ask a simple question:
What will you do about it?
They key word is WILL!
If you will do something about it, then the issue is cut down to half.
If you will not do anything about it, even if you know it, then it does not matter.
The only way to move ahead is to objectively accept where you are now, without fear or concern. Take the rap if you must. That is a trait of a leader. Then you can move on.
Do not try to give reasons or excuses. Reasons do not translate into results.
Focus on delivering results. Denial is dangerous, because sooner or later, it will catch up with you. By then, it could be too late.
