Goals or Systems? How to Achieve Transformational Business Success!
Posted on December 26, 2024 by Steven Schwenkler , One of Thousands of Business Coaches on Noomii.
Goals and Systems are both complementary and crucial to achieve success in business. Yet, leaders focus with unparalleled discipline on systems.
A common question business coaches receive is what is more important: Goals or Systems? The truth.. they complement one another. Imagine having a step ladder with no foundation, it would be useless, and quite possibly dangerous. That step ladder is a system without a goal.
Business leaders must understand where they are going and have a goal.
However, imagine trying to jump on the roof of your house without a ladder… doing so would be little ridiculous and probably not possible. Systems are critical to reach your goals and the majority of your time will likely be set on systems because systems lead to actual achievement of the goal.
Business success so often depends on focusing on realistic and proven systems to achieve maximum results. Developing and retaining the right people is crucial, yet they must have a system to follow. Having a system will help build confidence, results and ultimately with the right focus lead to your success.
You are empowering your team by equipping them with the right systems to grow. Systems look different depending on goals. For example:
Launching a startup requires a different system then scalling to a multi-million dollar business. Startups require systems that leverage the founder’s time and energy to achieve maximum results. However, larger businesses require structuring and leading team oriented processes and technology that are scalable and achieve positive returns.
So, first carefully develop your goals, then focus on systems.
