Reconcile and Align What We Can Control

Our maximum joy in life and work is directly related to how aligned we are with our thinking, feeling, talking, and doing.

Leadership Tools: Reconcile and Align what we can control. Balancing Thinking, Feeling, Talking, and Doing.

Doing things consistently over time is what creates results. Consistent results over time leads to compensation. If we are unhappy with our results, then we have to look at what we are doing to start troubleshooting.  

Our maximum success comes when we are working at our highest and best use most of the time. Our maximum joy comes when we are doing what we love most of the time. This is another level of necessary alignment.  

We all have more control over this alignment than we believe.  

Take inventory of your life, both personally and professionally. Look at your skills, loves, relationships, actions, and results. Take the time to write them down to help you organize and prioritize your thoughts.  

Share your thoughts with your family, peers, management, team, coaches, and mentors to get insight so you can continue building true wealth.  




Functional Time Horizons
Starting out, the time horizons for strategy, winning work, and doing work are similar. As a contractor grows from 150 people to 500 people and beyond, those time horizons must stretch further apart while remaining integrated.
Construction Technology Integration Failures
More construction technology integrations FAIL to meet expectations due to alignment with the talent than the capabilities of the technology. If we looked at talent and technology the same way we look at equipment we would achieve a much better return.
Incentive Compensation for Contractors - Risks
The highest risk with any incentive program is the lack of a well thought out and systematic approach to either administering or implementing the program.
