Another critical component of Execution Excellence is the ability to surround oneself with the sort of people who will be supportive of the achievement of the most important SMART goals.\u00a0 The ability to do so begins with an understanding that we all deserve to be around supportive people, is strengthened by becoming clear about how to bring supportive people into our lives, and is further fortified by learning ways to decrease time spent with unsupportive others (rather than believing that we have to spend a lot of time with people who do not support important SMART goals for one reason or another).<\/p>\n

For example, Team-building to support the goal “Take out all trash every Wednesday before 9AM” can be facilitated by the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. affirming that there are people who can appreciate the value of this goal (and of doing it well on a consistent basis),<\/li>\n
  2. actively seeking out these people and spending more time with them, and<\/li>\n
  3. minimizing time spent with those who ridicule this goal (or attack us personally for working to achieve the goal).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    On the other hand, if the goal is pursued without these critical components, it is less likely to be achieved regularly with enjoyment, recognition, and\/or in an increasingly effective\/high-quality way.\u00a0 Furthermore, if one such goal is not achieved regularly (and\/or properly recognized as important to an individual or a group), it becomes much more acceptable to fail to achieve other goals.\u00a0 Failure to properly team-build can quickly spread the Execution Crisis throughout your life and the lives of those around you (in the form of low morale, motivation, and\/or productivity).\u00a0 The ability to team-build for success and satisfaction is a critical skill associated with spreading Execution Excellence.\u00a0 On the other hand, inability to do so effectively on a regular basis is another powerful contributor to the Execution Crisis.<\/p>\n
