Do you dread a promotion because of the stress it will bring into your life? Are the task lists and project plans drowning you in detail to the point that you and your teams lose sight of the big picture on a regular basis? Does the thought of creating a strategic plan weigh you down? Do you just wish you could get on top of it all and stay there? You’re not alone.

Listen to Dana talk about Intentions and Goals (my interview begins at minute 9:45).

A New Way To Think About Objectives and Strategies

A defining characteristic of leadership is that all leaders struggle with how to set goals that motivate other human beings and ourselves. Too often we give credit (and blame) to mechanical things like a vision and mission statement someone dreamed up. In fact, strategy statements are just that – empty husks of words – rife with potential when an inspired leader steps in to own the intent behind them.

InPower leaders successfully achieve objectives and execute strategies by activating the meaningful intention lying within the empty words of the statements on paper; they look past the alphabet soup and suss out the meaningful intention, thus unlocking its power to bring something amazing into being. They master intention-setting as an Art, both personally and professionally.

Whether you’re a solopreneur or a CXO, managing by intentions can be a powerful overlay to whatever management system you’re already using, or a defining principle for a new system you seek to put in place.
