among the workforce decreases —critical to successful
transformation to excellence

“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.”

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

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

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

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

9 things successful people do differently — realistic optimists
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
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
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”

238
9 things successful people do differently — realistic optimists
Dr. Heidi Grant Halvorson, Columbia University CONTINUED
9 things successful people do differently

Don’t tempt fate — if you overtax it
you will temporarily run out of steam

Focus on what you will do, not what
you won’t do

The Oz Principle: Getting Results Through Individual and Organizational Accountability
Roger Connors, Tom Smith and Craig Hickman
Creating individual accountability is the #1
managerial/leadership challenge facing

circumstances and achieve results you desire"

It is the “journey” that empowers you

240
The Oz Principle: Getting Results Through Individual and Organizational Accountability
Roger Connors, Tom Smith and Craig Hickman CONTINUED
Accountability is an attitude of continually asking
“what else can I do to rise above my
circumstances and achieve the results I desire”

Process: seeing it, owning it, solving it, and doing it

Success in business: Choice of getting stuck or
getting results 

241

Roger Connors, Tom Smith and Craig Hickman CONTINUED
A thin line separate SUCCESS from failure

Above the line — SUCCESS

How will you measure your life
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
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
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."
