Ep. 22: Directional Correctness w/ Jim Fischer
Manage episode 523279189 series 3662627
This live-streamed Empowerment Hour from MVI Headquarters features Jim Fischer walking leaders through the core idea of Directional Correctness—choosing what’s right over what’s easy. Jim explores why aspiring is the first step toward becoming a World-Class organization, how the Three Questions reset culture, and why intention and Standards matter far more than simply adding staff or spending more money.
With humor, stories, and practical anchors, Jim shows how Systems and Accountability create extraordinary results. It’s a straightforward, encouraging session for CEOs and Executive Leaders who want to break away from “average” and build an organization their community can TRUST —every visit, every call, every day!
