Entrepreneurs and startups are big believers in innovation, but sometimes they forget that innovation must be continual to assure long-term success, rather than the one big-bang idea that initiated their journey.

With technology growing more rapidly than ever, companies in all industries find themselves primarily focused on staying ahead of the curb. In the hustle and bustle of remaining state-of-the-art, it’s common to lose sight of specific aspects of a business.

“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” . There is much debate as to whether Peter Drucker actually said to Mark Fields, then CEO of Ford Motor Company in March 2000. Regardless, the quote is used extensively these days to emphasize the importance of how a company operates over the why.

The concept of governance is difficult to define in a sentence or two because it’s an intangible thing. It’s not something that we can see or touch. It’s a system that has a basic structure that serves as the foundation and support for all of its many parts. A governance model serves as a representation of the many possible ways that a governance system could work if you were to change one or more of its parts.

Neither people nor computers can really help you as a personal assistant unless you are willing to share data about what you like, what you feel, and who and what’s important to you. Even the best technology can’t read your mind, which is why a simple Google search often gives frustrating and irrelevant results, and online advertisers bombard you with opportunities of no interest.

When a business is struggling to break even, has downsized heavily or lost a great deal of market share, it’s not uncommon for the owners or the board to cast out the prior CEO and search for a new leader. If you find yourself in this position, you certainly have your work cut out for you.

But, as we begin a new decade, too many business leaders are facing backward rather than forward. The future can’t be met with backward-thinking and old leadership methods that are no longer effective. The leader’s duty is to open a door into the future for people and explain how things should be considered and managed in that new reality.
