What’s the number one function of a leader? It’s the ability to predict.
“The fundamental journey of a growing business is to create a predictable engine for generating wealth as it creates products and services that satisfy customer needs and creates an environment that attracts tip talent.” Verne Harnish, Mastering the Rockefeller Habits
Unless a company has the ability to determine where it is today and project where its’ going to be this week, this month, this quarter, and this year, it’s not on a trajectory for growth. It might not even be on track for survival. A favorite quote of mine is, "When you’re green you grow, when you’re rip you rot!"

This is why Strategic Discipline is such a critical piece to success.
Determine your priorities. Create and monitor metrics. Develop Meeting Rhythms to build a Cadence of Accountability.

Who should your leadership team be made up of? This depends on the size of your company. Your leadership team that attends daily huddles, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual planning meetings should be the people that have the greatest impact on your business, and provide critical data and influence on your customers and employees. Regardless the size of your company your leadership team shouldn’t exceed ten in number. Beyond this it gets a bit unyielding.
