The Conscious Pivot: Creating Greater Impact Through Greater Vision
Why is it that 88% of Fortune 500 companies existing in 1955 were gone by 2015? Because these businesses couldn’t effectively adapt to change. Today, constant innovation is the key to sustainable success. Innovation, simply put, is the reinvention of something in a progressive, forward-moving direction. Therefore, our ability to reinvent – or pivot – is critical to lasting and meaningful change and success. Pivoting well requires agility, resilience, and the ability to manage change consciously. And, Pivot Innovation is about managing a process, not a plan for a better result.
What does it take to get a better result? It requires a broader vision; a more holistic approach to innovation and performance management. With greater “vision”comes greater “impact” in the world. Adapting to change and continuously innovating requires pivot “alchemy” – taking what is in front of utilizing it to create a greater result. Adam shares this and other top strategies and tools for successfully pivoting and producing massive positive transformation over time in your business.

The Leadership Quotient
Leadership has been defined in many ways over the years. For the most part, it is associated with a person that holds a position of authority – or someone with the ability to influence others irrespective of their hierarchical title. However, businesses that are the most successful are those that recognize that successful leadership is, first and foremost, rooted in personal responsibility. Great teams are made up of great leaders.
However, Adam contends that as a society, we all too often look for leadership and problem- solving in other individuals, governments, and/or politicians. By doing so, we are abandoning self-accountability, and thereby, abdicating leadership and perpetuating a culture of mediocrity with an actual lack of leadership.
A company, team, or organization with a powerful “leadership quotient” is one in which all members are leaders of themselves first. They are self-directed and self-motivated because they are actively taking responsibility and accountability for themselves. Leadership also involves being a good follower.
How does one achieve this holy grail of management? It requires a focus on the principles of self-accountability and a mindset of ownership. Adam shares strategies and tools to create a culture of effective leadership and an exponentially stronger team, such as:
- Personal Leadership Awareness and Impact
- Assessing your team ownership quotient (phases) – and where need to focus (hierarchy of leadership)
- The 3 keys to enrollment: creating buy-in and commitment vs. consensus
- Cultivating a culture of personal leadership through personal accountability
- Creating Codes of Honor in Business
- Structuring for empowered leadership: Balancing leadership, turf, and accountability
