Some people think that implementation isn’t a critical part of leadership. They don’t think it’s a necessary skill. They think that leaders are “vision” people who don’t have time, energy, or sometimes even the ability to spend time on implementation.
And yet, we know that leaders get… things… done. Leaders recognize that their purpose is to the challenge the status quo and change the order of things for the better. They get things done. And therefore, they prioritize, execute, and implement. They don’t have to do it all themselves, but they have to get it done.
