Success. What does tension have to do with it?
Everything. Imagine sailing a sailboat, but remaining oblivious to the tension of the wind in the sail. Would you ever arrive at your intended destination? Not likely. And if by chance you did, how much extra time, energy, and resources might have been wasted on the way? Probably much more than bargained for.
In sailing, paying attention to tension - of the wind within the sail - then leveraging this tension effectively - is critical for successfully navigating towards a desired destination.
Is your business paying attention to tension?
In business, paying attention to tension – within employees, teams, sales executives, managers, supervisors, leaders, and the entire organization - then leveraging this tension effectively - is critical for successfully achieving desired results.
What kind of tension are we talking about? Internal tension – thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and perceptions - driving those inside the organization, towards achieving intended goals and objectives. Much like the wind, this is an invisible, yet extremely powerful force to be reckoned with.
How well do businesses pay attention to tension? If statistics are any indication, not well at all. Forty percent of businesses fail within one year of start-up. Eighty percent fail within five years. It doesn't matter whether the business is big or small. Consider the subprime lending crisis, the implosion of the American auto industry, and the collapse of the banking industry. Inattention to tension has become the norm rather than the exception in business, often producing disastrous results with far-reaching consequences.
It doesn't have to be that way.
