SUCCESS SIMPLIFIED

Simple Solutions Measurable Results

Mark Twain once apologized to a friend for sending him a long letter by saying “I didn’t have time to send you a short one”.  Of course he meant he was writing to his friend as he thought, instead of taking the time to edit his thoughts, and especially not to test them for practicality.  Success Profiles wants to tell you about a new book from Insight Publishing written to help leaders also short of time, but who are serious about the subject of success.  “Success Simplified” is a terrific series of interviews from Insight Publishing, in which some of the most distinguished business thought-leaders have distilled their thoughts into useful, tested, and practical advice.  These revealing shortcuts to success are led off by Success Profiles with Tom Olivo’s “Leadership Alignment and Getting the Right People in the Right Roles.”  Tom’s remarkable concepts prove leaders are the key to success and they are far more likely to be successful when they are put in the right roles.  His analysis is backed up by 25 years of hard performance measurements of thousands of leaders across industry, most notably in healthcare.   Success Profiles would be proud to help simplify your success.

There several common denominators of success among athletes and business executives. 

David Wright’s interview allows Tom to explain how he took his interest and experience in competitive athletics and measurement, apply it to the business environment, and eventually discover a relationship between leadership ability, role complexity and success.  High performers in sports and in business share many characteristics.  Taking advantage of these “common denominator” relationships, Tom describes how a leader’s behavioral style is much more often the limiting factor in performance than technical ability.   He gives a brief checklist of assessment questions that leaders can use to determine up to 95% of the most common leadership problems.

When coaching people for any endeavor, there is a simple structured approach that leads to the most consistent desired outcome.

Success Profiles teaches the upside benefit of coaching.  All leaders can benefit from coaching, but not everyone is coach-able.  Coaching is especially helpful for leaders on-boarding into new roles and for leaders who have taken on multiple – increased responsibilities.  It is vital to get real performance out of all employees.  That is especially true for your best performers, and even more so for those in leadership positions who are multiplying their impact by influencing the rest of your staff.   Delivering feedback is both an art and a science.  When coaching is more effectively delivered and received, overall performance improves by a larger margin.
