We go to work everyday, not thinking about the bigger picture of why we work where we work and where it is taking us. Many of us have read Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits but very few of us have put the mantra “start with the end in mind” into practice. Many of us don’t have clear visions for where we want to end up. They then spend years training and preparing – they get “ready.” Then they establish a clear goal of scoring higher than the current Olympic world record – they “aim.” Only after getting “ready” and “aiming,” do they actually finally “fire.”Ĭontrast this to the approach that many of us (including myself on many occasions in the past), take in life. First they have a vision of themselves on a podium with a gold medal. Because the vision and goals of the company were so clearly defined, these fell easily into place.Īnother easy way to visualize this is the Ready, Aim, Fire Approach that sharpshooters might use to prepare for the upcoming Olympics. From there each major division of the company was tasked with formulating their own path forward. Based on this overarching vision, we then helped the organization create both short and long-term goals. When I worked at McKinsey & Company, a large multi-national organization asked us to help them create a vision for their company. Summary: How do you make important decisions? Are you very deliberate about your decisions or are you quick to make decisions without thinking things through? We show you how to shift from making decisions based on impulse and emotion (Fire, Ready, Aim) to making decisions based on a vision and goals for your life that YOU create (Ready, Aim, Fire).
