Focusing on a Few Critical Shifts
From transactional… …to relational
From silos… …to collaboration
“I am responsible for quickly and
efficiently meeting the needs my
clients express.”
“Probing my clients about their
financial situation would be prying into
their private affairs.”
“Account opening is a chore to be
done by junior sales staff.”
“I am responsible for bringing the best of
my company to clients and addressing
their needs whether articulated or not.”
“I need to understand my clients’ full
situation before I can give them the best
advice.”
“Account opening is potentially the most
important client interaction of all.”
“My success depends on optimizing
my area.”
“I know what’s right for my area and
no one else can achieve what I can.”
“I view other areas as a hindrance—
they are incompetent and selfish.”
“My success depends on optimizing my
company’s results.”
“I can learn from others and there is great
value in ‘mining the seams’ together.”
“There is no ‘they’—I assume that other
people are competent and show goodwill.”
From blame… …to accountability
“The problems we face are beyond
my control.”
“There is a lack of clarity regarding
accountabilities around here.”
“I show up at every meeting so I can
watch my back.”
“If I’m not part of the solution, I’m part of the
problem.”
“I seek to clarify my and others’ account-
abilities if they are unclear.”
“I trust others to do what they are supposed
to do in a fair manner.”

The Interactive Cascade Process
CEO as author
CEO drafts a personally meaningful change story taking
on board input from the organization and agreements
made with senior team
CEO as “teacher,” senior managers as “students”
Senior managers participate in an interactive session with
peers to listen to, understand, and give feedback on CEO’s
story
Senior managers as authors, CEO as coach
Managers prepare their own versions of the story that are
relevant to their units, using the CEO’s story as context and
receiving coaching from the CEO as needed
Senior managers as teachers, next-level managers
as students
Senior managers facilitate an interactive story session for their
employees (with their supervisors attending at least for the
kick-off)
Next-level managers as authors,
senior managers as coaches
…and so on

201. High Performance Companies
Nitin Pangarkar
Principles for companies to use when making day-to-day decisions
that will determine their actual strategy
Strategic considerations
Resource acquisition: discover diamonds among
coal to enhance performance (finding undervalued
resources or ones which can generate synergy)
Resource allocation: build durable assets (create
barriers to entry — brand building, technology
development, and employee development)
Overall business-level strategy: create small wins,
replicate several times — cumulative impact of many
can achieve big impact

202. High Performance Companies
Nitin Pangarkar
Principles for companies to use when making day-to-day decisions that
will determine their actual strategy
Strategic considerations
Innovation strategy: integrate the knowledge from
various stakeholders and partners to innovate
Strategic incremental adaptation (External): companies
to be clear about their goals and pursue even during a
crisis
Beware of Strategic incremental adaptation (Internal ): if
tweaking strategies companies should be careful not to
undermine core elements of current strategy such as
commitments to key stakeholders such as employees or
customers

Dr. Heidi Grant Halvorson, Columbia University
Warren Buffet, Berkshire Hathaway Founder & CEO — a
realistic optimist
"Optimism is a huge asset…We see this in you, Warren.
Your success didn't create your optimism, your optimism
led to your success.” Melinda Gates of Gates Foundation
Realistic optimists believe they will succeed but also
understand they have to strategize, put in effort, plan and
be persistent in order to overcome any obstacles and get
things done
236
237. 9 things successful people do differently — realistic optimists
Dr. Heidi Grant Halvorson, Columbia University CONTINUED
9 things successful people do differently
Get specific when you set a goal be as
specific as possible
Seize the moment to act on your goals
Know exactly how far you have left to go
Be a realistic optimist: thinking things will
come to you easily and effortlessly leaves
you ill-prepared for the journey ahead, and
significantly increases the odds of failure
237
238. 9 things successful people do differently — realistic optimists
Dr. Heidi Grant Halvorson, Columbia University CONTINUED
9 things successful people do differently
Focus on getting better, rather than being
good
Have grit — willingness to commit to
long-term goals and to persist in the face
of difficulty
Build your willpower muscle — your self-
control “muscle”

you won’t do

Success in business: Choice of getting stuck or
getting results
241

Dr. Clayton Christensen, Harvard University
“Management is the most noble of
professions if practiced well."
"...the powerful motivator in our lives isn't
money; it's the opportunity to learn, grow
in responsibilities, contribute to others, and
to be recognized
for achievements." Frederick Herzberg
253
254. How will you measure your life
Dr. Clayton Christensen, Harvard University CONTINUED
Three key questions to ask ourselves and where the
answers can help frame the purpose to our lives
how can I be happy in my career
how can I be sure that my relationship with my
family is an enduring source of happiness
how can I live my life with integrity
"...the powerful motivator in our lives isn't money; it's
the opportunity to learn, grow in responsibilities,
contribute to others, and to be recognized
for achievements." Frederick Herzberg
254
255. How will you measure your life
Dr. Clayton Christensen, Harvard University CONTINUED
"...if you have a humble eagerness to learn
something from everybody, your
learning opportunities will be unlimited.
Generally you can be humble only if you feel
really good about yourself."
