Vision + Execution

The first limitation most people and companies put on themselves is the size of their vision.

While vision alone will not guarantee your achievement, a limited vision will nearly always guarantee limited achievement.

Leadership Tools: Vision plus Execution equals Progress.

“Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.” - Joel A. Barker 

“Aim for the highest cloud so that if you miss, you will hit a lofty mountain.” - Māori Proverb  


The second limitation is the clarity and specificity of that vision versus a vague phrase that looks good on a website or conference room wall.  

“Life punishes the vague wish and rewards the specific ask.” - Tim Ferriss 


The third limitation is failing to identify, prioritize, and execute what must be done on a daily basis to achieve that vision.  

This includes the required knowledge to be gained, how to prioritize objectives, and creating consistent execution cadences for accountability.   

We help contractors clarify their vision and then put the operating systems in place to achieve that vision.  




Work Conversion Cycle and Backlog Run-Off
PARADOX: A contractor can’t focus on the bigger strategic issues until they have a predictable backlog of work. If a contractor doesn’t have a solid market strategy and organizational structure in place it’s very difficult to build a consistent backlog.
Changes and Cash Flow Improvement
Construction is a cash-intensive business and change orders are often one of the root causes of poor cash flow. A 30-day improvement to change management workflow can generate over $400K in additional cash flow for a $50M contractor.

There is no relationship more intimate than that of life partners. Executive-level relationships, including business partnerships, share many similarities. The Gottmans have dedicated their lives to studying relationships, trust, and conflict resolution.
