Summary

What do you do when your company isn’t clear about where it’s going? When your role feels ambiguous? When you and your team get off track? Chris Dixon, our Director of Training, has spent years coaching leaders and teams of all sizes—from Fortune 50 companies to small real estate teams. In this episode, he shares the three most common challenges he sees inside organizations and the proven solutions to overcome them. This episode is packed with insights that will help you bring clarity, focus, and alignment to your work. Challenge of the Week: Ask yourself: "If I got fired tomorrow and someone new stepped into my role, what’s the first thing they would do differently?" Use this question to identify what you already know needs to change—then take action on it. *** To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: the1thing.com/pods. We talk about: How a lack of organizational clarity creates confusion and how “goal setting to the now” helps define a clear vision. Why individuals struggle with priorities and how the GPS framework keeps teams focused on the right goals. What causes focus drift and how a rhythm of accountability helps maintain productivity.
