It seems like magic…
Purpose
If you’re going to do anything worth doing and want your company to do it with excellence, you need purpose. So why are you doing what you’re doing? Erik explains the purpose…of purpose.
Promise
Promise is a ritual. We’ve been making oaths for thousands of years. They allow for accountability, but they also suggest what is possible. Erik shares the importance of promise to a successful enterprise.
Place
Does everyone in your organization have “a place at the table?” Nobody can deliver on their purpose or promise without knowing and having confidence in their place. Erik unpacks what it means to have a place where you work and why you should care about it.
Top Performance
What’s the difference between being pretty good at something and being legendary? Erik believes it is holding yourself to the high standards of top performance.
Standard of Performance
When you look at the top-performing, most successful teams, individuals, or organizations, they have a standard of performance that they relentlessly administer. Erik shares how following a standard drives top performance.
Empowerment
The only way for you and your organization to achieve top performance is through a culture of empowered top performers. Erik unpacks how the confidence, encouragement, and motivation that comes from empowerment enables you to grow to meet your full potential.
Stewardship Mindset
Are you the owner or the steward of your business? The answer may seem obvious, but stewards invest in their businesses in ways owners don’t. Erik explains the benefits of the Stewardship Mindset.
Unique Ability
Everybody’s got a superpower. You’re uniquely effective at a few things. But you’ve also got a purpose in life. Erik explores how your unique ability combines these two things. And makes a difference in your business, family, and community.
