Don’t Confuse Motion With Progress

One truth in our work with organizations large and small is that organizational results is a function of organizational performance . 

So, as business leaders, the focus of our efforts should be on improving employee and organizational performance.  Plan for it, implement action steps and overcome obstacles. 

But, don’t confuse motion with progress.  A flurry of meetings, PowerPoint presentations and coaching sessions doesn’t ensure that organizational performance is actually improving. 

Motion is not the key.  Doing whatever it takes to drive improvements in employee and organizational performance is the only measure of progress.
