Let’s begin by defining what success is. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, we can define success as the achieving of desired results, or someone or something that achieves positive results. It implies a desire for a future state which is in our minds or at least we already thought about it.
I think at this point we all agree that without a clear picture of the desired state, success will not happen.
As mentioned in Alice in Wonderland: “if you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there”. (In fact, although this phrase became popular in Alice in Wonderland, it belongs to Lewis Carroll; an English writer of world-famous children’s fiction, notably Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass).
But is it enough to have a clear picture of the desired state?
The answer is NO if we don’t execute the necessary actions that will take us there, we’ll never get there.
Let’s look at this with a simple example: Do you like muffins? I think that at one time or another in our lives, we all loved muffins. And when we think about it, we would like that muffin to be contour; rounded top; may have a center crack, but evenly browned top and crust; uniform crumb color; with a fine crumb; uniform grain; free of large tunnels; moist; not mealy or crumbly.
Many may consider the endeavor of making muffins a simple task, and probably it is when you know how; when you don’t even need a recipe while in the process. You have the different ingredients and you know so well the process that you know what to do with each of the ingredients to create the perfect mix and get muffins with great appearance, texture, and well-distributed nuts and fruit.
Business is not that different, you have many ingredients within an organization like people, processes, and technology. And you need to know how to mix them to obtain the maximum benefit from them and to unlock their full potential. Once you have the perfect mix, great results come out, therefore.
