Achieving Results in Unpredictable Times
Resources to help you thrive in times of change.
OVERVIEW
Achieving Results in Unpredictable Times
In times of great uncertainty, leaders are faced with one of two choices. Freeze to the point of inaction, allowing uncertainty to damage culture, performance, results, and significantly slow a return to greatness. Or, transform fear into engagement, execute with excellence, use the uncertainty as a time to actually increase trust, and help everyone in the organisation prepare to do more with less.
We created this site to provide leaders with tools and resources to help them navigate and lead their organisations through unpredictable times. Over the past three decades, we have assisted hundreds of thousands of leaders, across tens of thousands of organisations, to improve execution, increase trust, do more with less, and transform culture.

Move With the Speed of Trust, by Stephen M. R. Covey
In this time of change, crisis, and all-around uncertainty, the greatest asset and security any leader has is their credibility. The greatest currency they have is the trust people have in them. The greatest power they have lies in how they choose to extend their trust to others.
Executing in Uncertainty and Complexity

SECTION ONE: EXECUTE WITH EXCELLENCE
Execute Your Most Important Priorities With Excellence
It is imperative to narrow focus to the few most important priorities that will make the biggest difference. Everyone in the organisation must understand these priorities and how their daily work connects. With clear goals, strong alignment, and a system for daily focus and accountability, the best organisations make rapid progress even in very uncertain times. Is everyone in your organisation clear on the most important priorities? Do you know if their daily actions align with those priorities?

SECTION TWO: INCREASE TRUST
Increase Trust to Increase Speed
In low-trust environments, friction grows, speed slows, and cost increases significantly. The combination of slow speed and high costs is a killer and will greatly diminish the ability of your teams to come up with new innovative ways to work, serve customers, and come together to navigate internal and external uncertainty. Do you have pockets of low trust in your organisation that may slow you down when you can least afford it?

Are My Remote Employees Actually Working?
Leading remote teams is new to many people. While you’re stressing out about whether your people are actually focused and working, your people could be stressing out about whether you trust that they are working. High trust leaders create clear expectations and trust their people to deliver.

The Speed of Trust had prepared them with a new perspective and skill set to manage through these unpredictable times.
SECTION THREE: ACHIEVE TRUST
Achieve More With Less
More than ever, you need your people to be both effective and efficient. There is no time for wasted energy or for people to invest resources on the things that will have the biggest impact. As most of your people have gone home to work, are you confident they have the tools necessary to focus their time and energy on the tasks and projects that will have the biggest impact?
