Friday Share #89: The Culture Of Discipline
The following is a post that Maurilio Amorim wrote recently that I think you have got to read! Maurilio is CEO of The A Group, a media, technology and branding firm in Brentwood, TN. The A Group consults with some of the country’s largest ministries, leading churches, and Christian publishers.
Unless your organization has a culture of discipline, it cannot grow beyond where it is right now. I will be even bolder and say that it might not endure. Honesty in measuring goals is the difference between sustained growth and obsolescence. While we might find a lot of good things our business, church, or not for profit is doing, we must be honest and establish success or failure on the basis of our stated goals.
While we can celebrate some of our successes with press releases, board presentations, and beautiful annual reports, we should be ruthless about evaluating our accomplishments based on our set goals. A smart leader should not ask “what have we accomplished in the past year?” The more important and relevant question should be, “have we accomplished what we have set out to do?”
The first question while makes us feel good and helps build temporary morale, it often leads to spin and a false sense of progress.
