The Lead With Speed Manifesto

As leaders, we must have the patience and the persistence of ultra-marathoners and when needed (which is often) the speed of a sprinter.

This implies a calm endurance, and mindset for the long run.

It also means that we must be able to put on bold bursts of speed. And to do so, while maintaining our energy, joy, and our very selves for the long run.

The Alchemist Elements of Speed

01

It is always about Speed to Value, not the Value of Speed itself.

02

Provide the Inspiring Why For Yourself, Your customers, and those you lead.

03

Lead with a constancy of purpose towards the inspiring WHY even on days that you must trudge.

04

Exponentially build trust to build exponential speed.

05

Gather speed and value from the “SHRAPNEL OF FAILURE”

06

Create meaningful measures. Design and build your leadership speedometer.

07

Be a “Time Lord”. Own the game clock.

08

Speed is good. Acceleration wins.

09

Create a leadership learning acceleration engine for yourself and those you lead.

10

Master the immutable laws of speed to master your leadership force.
