Radical Excellence

By Linda Francis Cross, James Antenen, Stephen R Schmidt

Maximize the Human Factor! Radical Excellence provides the missing link for organizations struggling with less than optimal results from strategic planning, project management and Lean Six Sigma. Sadly, most organizations have all but ignored the most important business strategy - strengthening the core, the heart of the organization. Radical Excellence is all about healing an organization's heart - its culture! Weak cultures struggle with poor communication, lack of trust, fear of telling the truth, poor conflict resolution and lack of transparency. The end result of a weak culture is unhealthy relationships, lack of teamwork, struggling leadership and a lower likelihood of success.Radical Excellence requires sequential radical positive change (SRPC) in our personal lives as well as in our organization. This is more than just a new excellence initiative. It demands a deep emphasis on developing the heart of the individuals, starting with the leaders, which then strengthens the heart of the organization. Often referred to as Organizational Development (OD), this subject is curiously overlooked by most business schools and organizational leaders.Radical Excellence aligns and links Organizational Development, Strategic Planning, Project Management and Lean Six Sigma. In addition, this new strategy optimizes the synergy of personal and organizational excellence resulting in healthier relationships, stronger cultures, more effective leadership and successful strategic management. Sequential radical positive change (SRPC) is appropriate for leaders of any size and type of corporation, business or team, whether they are for-profit organizations or non-profit organizations such as social services, government entities, educational institutions, or faith-based foundations. Most importantly, SRPC is for each of us as individuals because REAL CHANGE STARTS WITH ME!
