Impact in a Nutshell

The Problem
Most leaders today rise through subject-matter expertise and strong instincts — the startup founder, or the high-impact engineer turned VP. These strengths initially take leaders far, but team performance ultimately hits a wall when leaders lack team-building expertise.
The Observation
High-performing teams don’t just innovate; they also build sustainable engines of innovation in the behaviors they cultivate and the people they hire, develop, and retain.
Impact’s Engine of Innovation
  1. Build a team of mission athletes — individuals inspired by mission, operating by shared values, and seeking consistent growth in personal and collective capacity.
  2. Cultivate aligned autonomy for these athletes to create, innovate, and solve problems:
    1. aligned to vision, mission, values, strategy, goals, and metrics; and,
    2. autonomous to maximize the brainpower and horsepower available to mission.
  3. Coach out — The first job of an entrepreneurial leader is to build and protect an environment that unlocks mission athletes; the second is to be decent to all those unwilling or unable to contribute who must be exited from the team.
