Driving results is an overall achievement mindset, a bias for action, an eagerness to take the initiative. People who drive for results infuse their teams and organizations with a sense of urgency. They help create a culture where organizational performance is always at the top of mind. Results might be quantifiable – measured in terms of P&L, sales growth, customer satisfaction ratings, new products launched. Or results may be qualitative – an enhanced reputation amongst customers, a more vibrant brand that attracts customers and employee talent. In successful organizations, the efforts of individuals, teams, functions, departments, and business units are aligned around these objectives. Driving results means communicating a vision, setting priorities, developing and executing plans that achieve the desired outcome – for the organization and the world. A good leader must be willing to act and follow through to drive results.
