Absolutely every year, the same, absolutely. Every year, the salmon come back to try to make their way up the waterfall here at the rogue river folks in nature, there are some profound, some profound secrets to the success in your business.
Dr. Kevin here, thinking about the consistency of which the salmon come back every year, without exception, nonfailing their back and the fishermen, as you can see RN after him.
And if you watch in the background, you’ll see them jumping up the dam. They’ll come in droves every year at the same time.
And to September they’re back, what is the lesson that you can take from your business? If you want to be successful, it is consistency.
You must have consistency. So yesterday I was working with a business and I was working with the executive team and they were lamenting over the difficulty.
They were having creating accountability with their teams, their teams weren’t remaining. Weren’t staying accountable when they looked at it. And what I forced them to look at was the fact that it’s not really about accountability.
Accountability is a symptom of another issue. The issue is consistency at the executive level. They weren’t consistently, um, consistently communicating the vision, the mission, the values they weren’t paying attention to in dialed in on the metrics that were essential.
No, instead the staff felt like it was the flavor of the week. And because of that, they never stayed the course with anything.
The leaders didn’t hold them accountable to stay the course. There was no consistency, much like mother nature is consistent in creating abundance.
Right now, the fishermen are having a ball out there, pulling in the salmon and the steelhead as they come up.
Your organization must have consistency. Take a minute and look back over the last year and the initiatives that you have, uh, you’ve introduced into your organization, which ones have caught traction celebrate those, which ones did not, why not do a deep root cause analysis and understand why don’t things get traction in your organization.
And I bet you’ll find it comes back to consistent implementation. You can’t just do it once and expect it to be done.
So, Dr. Kevin here wishing you great success as you create consistency in your organization. And that is the secret to accountability.
