Cornerstone One - Affluence & Influence

The purpose of management is to shape and secure a favorable future. To achieve that purpose one does well to begin at the end - that is, to begin with the end in mind - to begin with a simple question, "What do we want to achieve?" 

The specific answer to that simple question is of course as diverse as the people and organizations that answer it. So too are the motivations behind the answer which span the spectrum from selfish greed to selfless generosity.

But all of those answers are fundamentally about securing affluence and influence with stability, sustainability, and scalability. All want to pursue their passions with "no worries".

Test  this understanding in your life, in your family, in your profession, in the organization in which you work. Test it in physical, psychological, social, political, spiritual, and financial dimensions. If it is true, then we are perhaps on to something important - something we can leverage constructively in multiple dimensions.

It is with that simple insight that we lay the first cornerstone of the Performance Matters Management Matrix. There is a second cornerstone...

All The Best!
