Own It!
Small Decisions, Big Results
Tiger Woods "owns" his golf game. His confidence is apparent in every facet of the game -- his pre-tournament preparation, pre-shot routine, his swing, his short-game skills -- and his unfailing belief in himself. What would it be like if you owned your performance goals in the same way? Imagine the transformation in your team if each member had absolute confidence in meeting or exceeding goals each month, each quarter, each year! You want to build ownership not followership.
In Chip's newest program, Own It!, he taps into the hidden potential inside each one of us and shows how the power of making even one new decision can ignite tremendous performance improvements. Chip covers the key elements – re-evaluation, making new decisions, keeping score, moving the target and the power of attitude and activity. They can transform your team from a followership model to an ownership model, where everyone “owns” the mission and goals. This shift can lead you, your team, and your company to dramatic and quick results.
Kaizen or continuous improvement, is well-established in modern corporate culture as the process in which steady, incremental change leads to reaching your target. But what if your company needs bigger, more dramatic change?
What if the current economic reality dictates you must move the target?
Toyota, for example, set a goal of cutting the length of their assembly line in half -- that's huge! In his new program, Chip shows how incorporating kakushin -- the Japanese word for innovation or revolutionary change -- into everyday activities can lead to incredible change.
Moving a company or your performance from "good" to "great" is not a matter of just moving up the next rung of the ladder. It's not like moving next door -- it's more like moving to another country-- that's how big the gap is. How do you bridge that chasm?
The first step is recognizing there is a gap between where you are and where you want to be. Your choices have brought you to where you are today, whether positive or negative. Recognizing this fact also leads to the realization that if you make different choices – sometimes extremely different choices, you can reach that new target much quicker.
Chip focuses on accountability as the key to owning both your performance and the desired outcome -- an accountability that takes responsibility – in spite of obstacles and without excuses or blame. Putting on the hat of personal responsibility is the place to start.
Using a highly interactive approach (just watch his video clips on line) Chip challenges and entertains with a passionate style that will captivate and involve any audience. Each person takes home with them a personal starting point, plus the motivation to get going. They'll leave with a clear call to action that encompasses simple, key questions -- what are you going to start doing? What are you going to stop doing? -- and the tools, handouts, and website resources to help incorporate the message into everyday life.
Own It! inspires accountability, personal responsibility, trust in the team, and a long-term view of success. Even if you've settled for less in the past, or your company hasn't gotten the results it wants, you've got what it takes to make it happen. Small individual decisions can lead to a greater sense of ownership and big results; bigger changes can lead to innovation and revolutionary change. Let Chip show you and your team how to own it!
