Counselors Academy
Today’s Meet the Press provided a good backdrop for discussions that took place at the PRSA Counselors Academy in La Quinta California.
Back East, the “change” words that were prominent in the Meet The Press discussion from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange included investment, downsizing, competitiveness, opportunity and innovation.
Out here in the West, those words resonated throughout Steve McKee’s keynote address. Reflecting on themes from his successful book When Growth Stalls, McKee drove home the point that understanding the causes of failure is the key to eventual success. He identified ways to identify reasons why growth stalls, they include: Lack of Consensus, Loss of Focus, Loss of Nerve, and Lack of Consistency. He finished by encouraging CEOs and business owners to take a confidential self-assessment at http://www.whengrowthstalls.com. As a side note, The Garrity Group was (and still is) a proud sponsor of Steve McKee’s address to the Counselors Academy.
