Expectation 2 & 3: Championing Operational Excellence and Making Sound Decisions

from The Jon Harrison Podcast · host Jon Harrison

Host Christy Frazier, with Melissa Dunn and Jon Harrison, discuss the next two expectations: championing operational excellence and making sound decisions. Jon argues organizations must balance a healthy culture with measurable results. He also encourages leaders to use simple scoreboards and share metrics transparently to build ownership, innovation, and long-term thinking. They emphasize “getting awkward early,” speaking truth, and building passion for “winning at work.” On decision-making, the group rejects “common sense,” advocating intentional teaching of sound decision habits such as including others, thinking long-term, removing bias, and avoiding assumptions; these behaviors apply across roles and also translate to home life.Upcoming Events:https://www.jonharrisonvip.com/eventsStatistically, every year about 70% of people are disengaged at work!
