Do you trust each member of your "leadership team" with the Jesus Nut of your business? In helicopters, the "Jesus Nut" holds the main rotor to the rotor mast. If the Jesus Nut fails, the rotor detaches. As you fall from the sky, calling on Jesus might be one of the few available options. In business, the Jesus Nut is the weekly tactical meetings you hold with your "leadership team," and they hold with their teams. Everything revolves around the assumption that at your weekly tactical, problems with numbers and priorities are getting solved. There are only 13 weeks in a quarter to meet your profit goals. There are only 13 weeks in a quarter to finish each of your Quarterly Rocks, so you can: 1. Achieve your 1-Year Growth Plan 2. Achieve your 3-Year Growth Plan 3. Reach your Pinnacle (aka BHAG, aka 10-Year Target) You've got to make progress each week, or the whole thing can fall apart. "No action, activity, or process is more central to a healthy organization than the meeting. "As dreaded as the 'm' word is, as maligned as it has become, there is no better way to have a fundamental impact on an organization than by changing the way it does meetings," Patrick Lencioni wrote in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘥𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦. In the Pinnacle, Scaling Up, and EOS business operating systems, each member of the "leadership team" must ACE collaborative problem-solving. ACE means ... - Aptitude - Capability - Enthusiasm ... for solving problems standing in the way this week of hitting our numbers and completing our Rocks. "Leaders" who don't demonstrate that enthusiasm? They're trying to distract your attention from their own poor performance, that of their team, or both. If they're doing that in their weekly tactical meeting with you, imagine what they're doing when you're not looking—during the weekly tactical meeting they "lead" with their team. Do you trust each member of your "leadership team" with the Jesus Nut of your business? The slightest hesitation means you need to take action now. Before your business falls out of the sky. --- 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗽𝘂𝘁 "𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺" 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀? It's because most "leadership teams" are anything but. I'm on a mission to help business owners punch above their weight by building true executive teams. On the way, they'll need to make better and faster choices about coaching up or coaching out the "leadership team" members they've tolerated for far too long. I've coached 48 business owners, and the Number One thing that's held them back is poor selection and unwise retention of "leadership team" members. If you care enough about a business owner to help them solve their Number One problem, please: 1. Send them this article directly, along with my other #trueexecutiveteam articles. 2. Like, comment, and repost this article, so other business owners can benefit. 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲: Used in dozens of posts on Quora. Original source unknown.
