What does it take to be a trained executive?

We spend most of our lives being trained to be good workers. Our universities train people for front-line work and management, yet there is very little in the way of true executive education.

In part 1 of this 2 part mini-series we presented two models. The first model we shared with you is “Activities, Routines and Practices.” From this point, we will refer to it as ARP.

The second model we introduced was the “Principle of Integration.”

The purpose of this mini-article series is to show you one key thing: if you do not have the correct ARPs and if your business is not designed from the Principle of Integration your ability to perform and have extra-ordinary results everywhere will decrease substantially.

Being well is your direct access to having extra-ordinary results everywhere.

How?

We say that a business can be a simple collection of activities, routines and practices. Naturally, the smaller the business, the fewer activities, routines and practices an entrepreneur and his team will have, and the larger the business, the amount of activities, routines and practices will increase directly and proportionately.

Businesses are all around us, yet very few people, actually know what makes businesses work or how they work. In the story¹ below we will be taking a look at a young pupil’s perspective at the different levels of labour that exist inside of a business, from the front-lines that do the work, to the middle management that supervises the work, to the executives that figure out what work to do, and to the ownership that creates the environment for the work to happen in the first place. The lesson is simple, yet profound, because for a business to work it requires people at all levels operating together to make a business functional.

The Story
One morning, a young pupil curious about life, went for a walk to the park. She had the idea of being a builder but did not know what to build.
