In this successful profitable \u00a3100m (\u00a38M EBITA) business the team were effective for 1.7 hrs \/ day.<\/p>\n<p>To explain last week I engaged with a capable, engaging, humble, ambitious board member and great leader of a \u00a3100m t\/o business making \u00a38M EBITDA.\u00a0 She didn\u2019t get how to recognise misguided activity from the 3 minute chapter 7 \u2013 \u201cAchieving a Breakthrough\u201d of winningthinking.uk.<\/p>\n<p>She was desperate to understand what she was missing. It became clear that the content was in her blind spot, so she was stuck &#8211;\u00a0 So&#8230; to break the deadlock by making this specific to her I analysed our discussion in the context of chapter 7 .<\/p>\n<p>The picture below is a summary of what she said. If this was representative this would misguide 78% of her teams activity &amp; in parallel what really matters would become very difficult to raise too! This is the seedbed of unpleasant surprises.<\/p>\n<p>The paradox is that these type of statements become increasingly attractive and digestible in uncertain times! Her humble style made her very popular \u2013 which was great start. Think how much better if her business could be if that 78% was recognised and energy harnessed?
