SMART = Simple, Mobile, Accountable, Resilient, and Tenacious

Knowing your business is not enough

1.      Smart organizations are simple and mobile.

2.      Smart organizations are accountable, resilient, and tenacious.

3.      Smart organizations are developing the character of their leaders.

4.      Most organizations tend to focus exclusively on getting quick results.

5.      Most organizations don’t focus enough on achieving sustainable results.

6.      Smart organizations value their leader’s quantity and quality of relationships.

7.      Smart organizations have their leaders prepared to lead when the time comes.

Smart organizations succeed because they adapt, learn, and innovate better and faster than intellectual organizations. What we know may no longer be so! Simplicity is paying high dividends; complexity is taxing organizations due to their low speed of change.
