A Personal Mission:
How I Measure Impact
Over 24 years leading businesses from $1M to $9B, I noticed a frequent pattern: Teams full of talented people delivering merely “good” results. They should have been exceptional.
But I also witnessed the impact when people are unleashed and barriers removed. That was my way of leading. It became my reputation.
At Intel, I transformed the growth trajectories of multiple, complex global businesses. We dramatically outsold competitors in new markets, and raised margins even as we won share.
We set bold goals, reduced bureaucracy, accelerated decisions, took smart risks, and eliminated performance theater.
This became the foundation for my work at The Simon Impact, helping large companies move faster.

I have spent a quarter century helping organizations move from slow to fast. I write extensively about it in my upcoming my book, Stagnation Traps. If you want to achieve something, work with someone who has delivered it before. I have.
I measure impact against the mission:
-
To help even mature organizations move with startup-like speed
-
To re-ignite the fire and unstoppable energy of their people along the way
