Build an Implementation Team That Believes—Not Just Works

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

Now it's time to build a team, right? You now–you're so busy, you enter the synergy stage and you need an implementation team, you're so busy at what you're doing. You need other people to work elbow to elbow, side by side with you, and to do the work together. If you're an accountant, you need more accountants, if you're a lawyer, you need more lawyers. If you're a consultant, you need more consultants, whatever it is, you're a brake specialist, you need more brake specialists. This is your implementation team. Okay, now, you need an aligned team that is totally bought into your mission. You know, the number, the best run event I've ever participated in was the New York City Marathon. I ran it in 2002. And I reran it in 2019. And when I ran it in 2019, there were 30,000 people that ran the marathon and in 2019, there were 50,000. Most of these staff are volunteers, right? But they are so bought in to the theme, they have a theme at the New York City Marathon is that one of the most transformational experiences you can ever have in your life is to run a marathon and to run it in New York. Now, on TV, it looks like a race. But if you've ever run it or been part of it, it's not that at all, it's a parade. The runners are the floats and there's 2 million people that line the streets in all five boroughs of New York, it's a logistic nightmare. Think about that two over 2 million people, probably 2.1 million people by the time you are done organizing the fire department, the Public Works, the police department, and yet it comes off without a hitch, right? Why? Because the people there are so bought in, it's easy to train them. There's a couple of key things that they need to know. Basically, you keep the runners running, you keep them moving forward.
