Effective Communication

Clear and concise communication is a vital skill for any leader or practitioner. This includes not only verbal communication, but also active listening and nonverbal communication. Effective leaders ensure that their team members fully understand the goals, expectations, and tasks assigned to them. They also value open and honest communication, fostering a culture of trust within their team.

Building and Sustaining Trust

Trust is the foundation of any successful team or organization. As a leader, it is essential to build and sustain trust with your team members. This can be achieved by being consistent, reliable, and by providing support and guidance when needed. Trust enables team members to feel valued, motivated, and empowered, leading to increased productivity and success.

Empowering and Developing Others

An effective leader not only focuses on their own growth but also empowers and develops their team members. This involves providing opportunities for growth, offering constructive feedback, and recognizing and acknowledging achievements. By investing in the development of your team, you create a culture of continuous learning and growth, resulting in a high-performing team.

Adaptability and Flexibility

In today's rapidly changing world, leaders and practitioners must be adaptable and flexible. Being open to new ideas and embracing change is crucial for staying ahead in a competitive environment. Successful leaders continually learn, evolve, and adapt their strategies to meet the demands of their team and organization.

Effective guidance for leaders and practitioners is essential for achieving success in any field. By focusing on key elements such as self-awareness, effective communication, building trust, empowering others, and embracing adaptability, leaders can unlock their true potential and lead their teams towards greatness. Remember, great leaders are not born but made through continuous learning, practice, and the willingness to grow.

The conditions in which leaders apply Hoshin Planning today have changed substantially since the method was established in the 1950’s. There is better and more broadly distributed understanding of statistical process improvement principles and practices in today’s organizations. Executives seem to rotate in and out of organizations with more frequency. Organizational structures are often more fluid and open. Markets change much faster, employees have greater expectations for stimulation and growth from their work, and technology is central to everything we do. To correctly apply Hoshin Planning, we must consider this modern, more complex environment.

Unfortunately, a solid understanding of Hoshin mechanics, techniques, and tools isn’t always enough to achieve outstanding performance. This book examines Hoshin Planning a little less through the controllable lens of methodology and more through the ever-shifting and imperfect lens of daily life in organizations.

Picking up where many Hoshin "how-to" books leave off, this book presents practical ideas and tools for overcoming the messier obstacles faced by today's executives and planning professionals. You will learn ways to work your strategic planning productively in the face of sometimes tough challenges, such as working with unions, planning during an acquisition, and dealing with measurement fatigue.

This book addresses these and other issues with a candid, practical, and compassionate eye. Using real stories and examples, Boisvert shares valuable observations she’s made through nearly two decades of consulting with organizations.

Inevitably, your organization will experience unplanned events and surprising results that will require modification of what looked like perfectly good plans. A reliable practice of Hoshin stays on its toes. Flexibility, alertness, pragmatism, and thoughtful, hardworking leadership are the themes of this book.
