‘Great results speak for themselves’ doesn’t work at the top.
I’ve coached and advised hundreds of executives and top teams on their journey from Great to Extraordinary.
There is one key trait that differentiates the Extraordinary from the Great ones.
✖ It is not about being better at their job
✖ It is not about being smarter or more polished
Great top teams out there believe their success depends on one key factor:
1. Achieving extraordinary results
Exceptional top teams know that their success depends on two key factors:
1. Achieving extraordinary results
2. Strategically communicating and positioning their impact
Extraordinary impact and results are a necessary element of success. There is no doubt about it.
But they are just the foundation
Imagine this:
📈 Your top team outperforms consistently
As they do that, they also:
🔦 Prioritize strategic, authentic positioning of their impact
(internally and externally)
They tell the ‘MAKING OF’ story about
✔ The lessons learned
✔ The difficult trade-offs
✔ The mistakes on the way
✔ The fears they overcame
✔ The calculated risks they took
✔ What they said ‘NO’ to on the way
✔ The uncomfortable discussions they had
BOOM 🔥 🔥 🔥
It is this authentic, vulnerable ‘MAKING OF’ story that turns your
1️⃣ consumers ➡ fans
2️⃣ stakeholders ➡ strategic partners
3️⃣ employees ➡ brand ambassadors
Results alone won’t get you here.
Results + Story = MAGIC
This is where Extraordinary Top Teams and Executives reside.
They make sure their leadership impact stretches way beyond top- and bottom-line results, by owning their impact story.
