These are some characteristics I have observed over the years that make up the winning programs and individuals I have seen. It is real pretty simple, but the lesser programs, the perennial also ran’s don’t seem to be able to execute these.
Continuity – In a sound program there is not constant change and turnover of personnel. You win when good people allowed to do what they do best.
Consistency – A steady approach, no wild variations.
Clarity of Purpose – Everyone knows where they are going and has a clear roadmap of how to get there. Laser focus, nothing less.
Sense of Urgency – Get it done now and do it well. Don't wait, the best time to get it done is now.
