Is your business marching to the beat?
In marching bands, the drum major acts as the metronome.
They are responsible for holding the beat, and the band follows their lead.
You, as leaders, are the metronome for your team and your business.
You set the tone for your entire organization.
That means you are aligning the team around the right vision.
You set the tone of your culture and are a walking example of your core values.
You implement the right routines and ensure everyone keeps the beat using a transparent playing field to track your progress.
The marching band learns their show one piece at a time and practices the right routines for months to put together a complete performance. They constantly iterate on their plan to make sure they can meet their goals.
You and your leadership team put together the plan one quarter at a time and must tweak your execution as needed to hit your end goal.
