Management And Leadership Success: The DAR Strategy
You want to be a successful leader or manager, right?
Of course you do but, despite this, it is surprising just how many people stop themselves from being successful.
So how can you start achieving more success?
Start taking DECISIONS (the ‘D’ in DAR)
We all have lots of choices available to us. Choices are great but it is decisions that get things moving. So if you want to get more success, start taking DECISIONS.
ACT on decisions
Decisions are great and can be hugely invigorating and motivating but the key thing you must do is take ACTION. It is the actions which move you forward, provide the channel for feedback on what is and what is not working. Make a habit of taking ACTION on DECISIONS if you want more success.
REMEMBER: DECISIONS + ACTIONS = RESULTS
RESULTS don’t happen by chance. They are a direct consequence of the decisions and actions you take. If you don’t stop using temporary staff for example, your outlay on salary costs is never going to change. Similarly, if you have a great idea for a product but never take it to the launch stage, you are never going to generate revenues.
The Bottom Line
If you are struggling to deliver as a leader or manager, take time out to review whether you are really taking decisions and then acting on decisions. You might be surprised what a difference simple changes can make.
