The Six Key Components
Vision
Vision is simply who you are, what makes you great, and where you are going as a company. There are a few moving parts, including answering eight key questions, but at its core, it's about creating clarity and alignment around the future of your business. and sharing it as openly and widely as possible.
People
People means having the right people (those who fit your culture) in the right seats (roles where they can excel). When people get their job, want their job, and have the capacity to do their job, execution improves dramatically.
