How do you keep moving forward?

How do you keep moving forward?

There are enough challenges and nay-sayers on a good day and even more of them on not so good days.   Recently, had the rare occasion of experiencing a rather unusual not so good day and felt like it was "anti-Frank" day.   

Ever have one of those days?

As leaders, People Like Us keep moving forward with support and without support.  Sure we may slow down a bit, get emotional, vent a bit and throw some "punches" and once we get a grip on it we are focused and plough forward.

What motivates us to keep moving forward?

My motivation is to ensure we are taking care of clients, both our customers and the AlphaKOR Team.  The only fear I have, as you know, is the fear of failure.  There is an inner drive to strive for excellence at all times, regardless of the situation and whatever else may be thrown at us along our journey.

Why do we want to keep moving forward?

Remember the pendulum never stops;  it moves forward or it moves backwards.   Your choice as a leader is to keep the pendulum moving forward and make sure it does not start to swing backwards.

So how do you do it?

Leaders know what to focus on and keep looking at different methods and approaches to ensure the Team embraces the concept of moving forward in the right direction.  Different personalities require different approaches.   Sometimes it is easy and successful, other times it takes modifications to move other personalities forward.

So why do we do it?

It takes great leadership to invigorate the Team to move forward.   Standing still and being stagnant or doing things the same way are not options.   Look for the early warning signs to step in and tweak, change or create the necessary measures to keep moving in the right direction.

Just do it!

Remove the obstacles and excuses with the focus of every member of the team to "just do it".   Nothing more, nothing less except performing the required responsibilities at hand exceptionally well and consistent.   You will be amazed at the results.  The investment of energy as to why we "can't" or the "excuses" should be channeled to achieving the desired results.
