## Resource

Execution is not a skill I hope people have. It's a leadership responsibility that has to be reinforced every day. I don't expect action to happen on its own. I set the standard, inspect the action, and consistently enforce it. Whether I'm leading a team or leading myself, execution only happens when the standard requires it. Show Notes: [01:55]#1 Leaders set the standard for execution. [08:43]#2 Execution requires execution, not encouragement. [18:14]#3 Consistency of leadership drives consistency of results. [19:51]Recap Episode Mentioned: 786: Encouragement Is Earned Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent. It is a standard. If your results don’t match your ability, something in your approach is out of alignment. Most people do not have a motivation problem. They have a consistency problem. Power Presence is the system for operating with greater discipline, clarity, structure, and execution under pressure.
