WELCOME to this issue of the CEO Success Report!
==========================================================
Hello again. I'm Gary Lockwood, President of CEO Success.
Welcome back once again to the CEO Success. I know you have
no shortage of material to read and I thank you for choosing to read our
newsletter.
We work hard to provide practical ideas, thought-provoking concepts and useful
information for you.
You (and about 1000 of your CEO peers), have honored me by being a loyal
subscriber. For that, I appreciate you.
As I discussed recently, we switched to a new service for emailing this
newsletter so you won't be subjected to the ads that our old service placed at
the top and bottom of each issue. If you have any difficulty with your
subscription, just email me at
Gary@CEOSuccess.com <mailto:Gary@CEOSuccess.com>
What would your business be like if your current customers were enthusiastically
rounding up prospective customers for you? Imagine the excitement of talking to
people who already know about you and know about your products and services. How
difficult would it be to close those sales?
Of course! Selling to those people would be a piece of cake. So why aren't your
current customers bringing you referrals? Perhaps it's because you have not
instructed them, motivated them, made it easy for them, asked them or initiated
the process.
Like most worthwhile endeavors, getting recommendations requires planning and
preparation. My Thought-Starter today shows you how to get more and better
referrals.
May I ask a small favor? Please forward this issue to other CEOs and company
presidents who may be interested in receiving these messages. Thank you.
And now for our guest article this month...
Stability and order were the essence of good management in the relatively static
environments of the past. This image is illustrated by the effective executive
depicted in most training films who sits behind a tidy desk in a picture perfect
room. This person is well planned and organized. He is the master of control and
problem solving. Unfortunately, these films fail to inform the viewer of the
chaos of movie making. In other words, the real story is one of chaos and
bloopers rather than the fantasy of a neat and tidy desk world.
Our guest article this month is from Bob J. Holder. In his article, Bob dispels
the myth that suggests that reality ought to be predictable. Bob contends that
Nature is filled with and thrives on chaos and he offers ideas on how to best
deal with it. Read more about Bob at the end of his article.
I hope you enjoy receiving these articles and ideas to
help you sharpen your thinking about being an effective CEO.
My wish is that you use the ideas in the CEO Success Report to get the results
you really want. If you want some help in putting them into practice, or if you
have questions, email or call.
As you know, our specialty is Increasing the Effectiveness
and Enhancing the Lives of CEOs and business owners.
Enjoy this issue with my compliments.
Sincerely,
Gary Lockwood

This month's THOUGHT-STARTER
===========================================
Got Referrals?
Ho-Hum. Another day at the office, waiting for a potential customer to call or
come in. Hmmmm.
What would your business be like if your current customers were enthusiastically
rounding up prospective customers for you? Imagine the excitement of talking to
people who already know about you and know about your products and services. How
difficult would it be to close those sales?
Of course! Selling to those people would be a piece of cake. So why aren't your
current customers bringing you referrals? Perhaps it's because you have not
instructed them, motivated them, made it easy for them, asked them or initiated
the process.
Like most worthwhile endeavors, getting referrals requires planning and
preparation. First, the planning. Start by making a list of all the people who
might be a referral source for you. These may include people you do business
with, such as your banker, accountant, attorney, printer, consultant, broker,
and so on. This list will also include at least some of your existing clients.
How about friends, community leaders, previous business associates, and
suppliers?
Next, scan the list for the handful of your best current referrers. Chances are,
you have a few people who routinely recommend prospective customers to you.
Perhaps you also send referrals to them. Start with these potential
"Referral Partners". Almost always, you'll have better results by
developing stronger relation- ships with a few referral sources rather than
shallow relationships with lots of sources.
In order to help your Referral Partners give you good, qualified referrals, you
need to get crystal-clear about what you are looking for. What types of
people/organizations make the best customers for you? Are there any geographic
limitations? How about size or volume requirements?
What problems do your products and services solve? Your Referral Partner will
have an easier time of spotting potential clients for you if they (and you) are
clear about what symptoms to look for. This also makes it very natural for your
Referral Partner to suggest your firm as a way for their colleague to solve a
problem.
Don't overlook the desired personal characteristics of potential customers. As
you know, the chemistry you have with a customer is a crucial factor in
establishing a long-term business relationship. Have you ever noticed that some
people make you feel good just to be around them? These are the people who give
you energy when they are near you. These special people seem to unlock your
creativity and stimulate your thinking. Wow!
On the other hand, there are probably others you can think of who just drain all
the life out of you. Which would you rather have as clients? You can surround
yourself with people who are pleasant, easy to deal with, interesting and, oh
yes, profitable.
When you are clear about describing the recommendations you want, you make it
easier for your Referral Partners to identify prospective customers for you.
Now that you have identified several possible Referral Partners and you are
clear about the types of customers you want, it's time to create a customized
plan for each Referral Partner. Think win- win. What does the Referral Partner
get from this relationship? Brainstorm all the various ways in which the
Referral Partner benefits from giving you a recommendation. Be as specific as
you can. Each person has individual needs and interest, so be creative in
discovering ways in which this person gets value from the Referral Partner
relationship.
Perhaps one of your current Referral Partners could help you brainstorm this
list of possible benefits that come from referring clients to you. Remember,
people do things for their reasons, not yours. If you can't articulate the
benefits of sending referrals to you, you'll not likely get many.
In order to instill confidence in your Referral Partner, you need to spell out
exactly what you will do when given a referral. Your Referral Partner has surely
developed valuable relationships over the years and will be most reluctant to do
anything that might jeopardize those relationships. Be specific as to what will
happen when your Referral Partner gives you a referral. A simple, step-by -step
process that shows how you will represent yourself (and your Referral Partner)
will provide assurance that the potential customer will be treated with respect
and dignity.
Next, discuss the specific actions you want from your Referral Partner. Do you
want them to call the potential customer? What do you want them to say? Would
you prefer they arrange a three- way appointment? Often, people want to give you
referrals, but don't know exactly what to do or how to do it. Train them; coach
them; help them get clear on what's expected of them.
Once you get a referral, be sure to show your appreciation. Behavior that is
recognized tends to be repeated. You can show your appreciation in many creative
ways. For some Referral Partners, it may be a gift. Others may prefer
recognition, favors, events or special support. Showing your appreciation is not
only the polite thing to do; it is also a smart way to encourage more referrals.
So far, we've discussed getting recommendations for potential customers. What
about referrals to new referral sources? By using the same process outlined
earlier, you have the opportunity to develop new Referral Partners. This is a
great way to dramatically increase your business without the time and effort of
cold calling and cold prospecting.
Bottom line; developing and implementing an effective referral strategy can
produce a steady stream of new business for years to come. You can achieve your
professional goals faster and easier through effectively targeting referrals.
Start today.

Guest Article
==================================
Adventuring in the Changing Realities of Messy Desks and Chaos by Bob J. Holder
Stability and order were the essence of good management in the relatively static
environments of the past. This image is illustrated by the effective executive
depicted in most training films who sits behind a tidy desk in a picture perfect
room. This person is well planned and organized. He is the master of control and
problem solving. Unfortunately, these films fail to inform the viewer of the
chaos of movie making. In other words, the real story is one of chaos and
bloopers rather than the fantasy of a neat and tidy desk world.
The Myth of Tidy Desk World
What is the source of "tidy desk world"? This image is based on the
myth of Newtonian mechanics. This myth suggests that reality ought to be
predictable and composed of everlasting patterns as a movie because, as with a
video cassette, reality is viewed as a deterministic closed system.
Unfortunately, reality isn't a video store where we can easily select the movie
that we want to watch. Nature is filled with and thrives on chaos.
Messy Desk Leadership
In an increasingly messy world, the ability to create chaos is displacing the
skills of order and stability. The effective leader wants to create chaos and
seeks to be a problem creator. He or she recognizes the importance of romancing
rather than playing the numbers game. The reason is simple. Chaos, problem
creating, disorder, and romancing compose the heart and soul of dynamics - the
process of evolving new orders. And, dynamics is critical to creating the
competitive advantage.
The benefits of chaos are illustrated by Rational, a German oven manufacturer.
Owner Siegfried Meister created chaos by announcing the suspension of its
existing product and the devotion of its total energies to a new oven. This
created a variety of problems for Meister. Foremost was convincing his
associates that he hadn't lost his mind and that the new oven would create a new
order in the marketplace. From this chaos arose a new commitment and order to
support the new product. When launched, the oven created chaos in the industry.
Other firms were unable to compete against the new oven resulting in an
expanding market share for the firm.
Chaos and Cloaked War Birds
Chaos also allows a firm to become rather than to be defeated by "cloaked
war bird competitors." As in the show Star Trek -- The Next Generation,
such firms appear out of seemingly nowhere as do cloaked Romulan war birds to
launch a spread of new products and services. As a result of the speed and
innovation imperatives, such war birds will be the norm during the 1990s. Says
C.K. Prahalad, a university of Michigan professor, "The global and
competitive battles of the 1990s will be won by companies that can get out of
traditional and shrinking product markets by building and dominating
fundamentally new markets." For example, to accelerate the launching and
spread of new products, Japanese firms are using a multi-dimensional innovation
strategy. Says Peter Drucker, "The idea is to produce three new products to
replace each present product with the same investment of time and money." A
multi-dimensional team (marketers, engineers, scientists and manufacturers) work
simultaneously on three dimensions of innovation. The first dimension involves
making improvements to the existing product. The second dimension involves a
major jump. The third dimension focuses on creating a true innovation.
Kingston Technology is an example. Kingston has created chaos in its
"business" through speed, exceptional quality, and creating long-term
relationships with its vendors. The firm created chaos and a new order in
"the business" with its "ship the product the day it is
ordered" strategy. Founders David Sun and David Tu are intuitive thinkers
who act on their hunches. They recognize that in messy world an over-reliance on
the analysis is like playing soccer with a golf club or baseball bat. The firm
also has a culture of fluidity and pays its associates well above the industry
norms. Kingston tests 100% of its parts which is an unheard of devotion and
commitment to quality in an industry where the norm is 5%.
Messy Desks and Organizational Health
As illustrated by this example, the purpose of chaos creation is to disrupt the
stability and order of the status quo. Also, it illustrates that chaos is
healthy rather than destructive. In fact, order and stability tend to point to
an unhealthy system.
It suggests that managers and associates are more concerned with processes and
activity chains, keeping the desk tidy, than with products, services,
improvement and renewal. Healthy systems are chaotic because they are in the
process of renewing themselves. The story of Pro Fasteners, Inc.'s quest to
become a world class enterprise is an example. Pro Fasteners' journey was filled
with false starts and missteps. While quality and customer satisfaction
dramatically improved, morale collapsed, and management resented employee
involvement. Key managers left. Employee involvement teams failed to meet.
However, CEO Steve Braccini supported the change and from the chaos, order has
begun to emerge. Says Braccini of the experience, "These last two years
have been about learning to walk, then trot, then run fast. Now, we're ready to
compete."
Playing the Edge
Creating chaos requires a shift from the core to the edge of and beyond the
horizon. Most managers tend to focus their attention on maintaining the core:
existing products and service. This can lead to an emphasis on cost control and
reduction. While important, it can lead to a lack of attention to expanding the
organization's boundaries through innovation chaos.
What can executives do to encourage innovative chaos? The following are
"clues" for executives and associates to play the edge through the
application of chaos.
1. Scouting the Edge and Bring in the Chaos
First of all, chaos is supported by scouting - sending out "away
teams" and creating teams to scout for innovations. (Scouting is
characterized as all individual and organizational activities related to
scanning the landscape and mindscape for new ideas, practices and information.)
Scouting allows an enterprise to play the edge and to gather the intelligence
required for transforming chaos into order.
Rational dispatches chefs to scout their peers to discover their needs. In turn,
scouting intelligence is used to improve existing and develop new products.
Gateway Computers' technology scouting group identifies new technologies to
support the firm's strategy of providing customers with low cost
state-of-the-art computing hardware. NEC has created a committee composed of
middle managers and executives who scout a variety of marketing and
technological data to discover new product concepts. As a result, NEC has
expanded its core technologies from 27 to 34. MCI has an R&D staff of twelve
technologists who don't do R&D. They scout the globe for new technologies.
The FI Group uses the "flying squad" to seek out useful knowledge from
its project teams to be developed into new products. Stew Leonard's Dairy
transports associates to another store to discover new ideas.
2. Creating Creative Space for Creative Chaos
Secondly, chaos can be created through designing or designating a creative
space. There is a tendency for organizations to forget their core myth and their
innovative origins: creative space. In the beginning, innovation, creativity,
and experimentation are the themes of organizational life. With success,
bureaucracy, standardization, and management begins to dominate. Esprit de-corps
is replaced with the MBA (Masters of Business Acquisition or Analysis) corp.
While beneficial and necessary, one result is that core mythical themes are
transformed into concrete stones. Innovation, creativity, and experimentation
become viruses to be eliminated. To this end, excessive energy is devoted to
virus program development and maintenance. One result is the organization
becomes as a hard drive filled with virus programs which can't be removed. The
hard drive, the current mindset, is protected from crashing; however there is
little or no room for new programs.
Creative space is created to continuously evoke an enterprise's innovative
origins. It need not be a place. In fact, the best strategy for killing creative
space is to delegate to a place such as R&D. Creative space is a spirit that
creates its own space. IBM is seeking to create creative space by decentralizing
its business units. The hope is that the spirit of innovation, creativity, and
experimentation of organizational members will be uncaged and creative space
will arise.
3. Visioning, Romancing and Chaos
Thirdly, chaos is created through visioning and romancing. That means, dreaming
visions that create the state-of-the-art and that are daring. The Rational
illustrates such visioning. Romancing involves being open to excitement,
seduction, and irrational attraction. For example, Paul Allen was seduced by
computers and a vision of their future. This beckoning led Allen and Bill Gates
to create a program from which Microsoft evolved. Says Allen, "What I
really find exciting is creating new products or ideas and the opportunity to
tie technologies together." Richard Branson, founder and Chairman of The
Virgin Group, makes business development decisions based upon whether the
business is exciting and funny.
It also means going with intangibles such as intuitions and hunches; and
recognizing the limitations of rational analysis. For example, Bob Fletcher,
chairman and founder of Fletcher Music Stores was puzzled by stagnant sales of
high tech organs. Fletcher undertook an experiment and slowly eliminated
non-organ products while becoming more empathic to customers. He learned that
older customers were turned off by the design. Fletcher designed an elder
friendly organ. He now sells approximately half of the organs sold in the U.S.
4. Self-Organizing
Self-organizing systems or teams are the structural result of visioning and
romancing. At Southwestern Airlines, associates self-organized to implement a
computing system. The project began during a gathering of associates at a bar.
At Digital Equipment Corp. associates self-organize computer conferences to
explore common problems. OurTown Television Productions illustrates
self-organizing in action. Associates design their own work with CEO Steven
Rosenbaum serving as a facilitator. Rosenbaum reports that self-creating work
has improved productivity. It has created a workplace where associates really
love their work. MacTemp, a temporary help service, is another example. When the
firm opens a new office, associates are presented with a model but are actively
encouraged to improve on it.
Critical to self-organizing is creating "open space." In Leadership Is
An Art, DePree states that giants give the gift of space, "space in both
the personal and corporate sense" so that associates can actualize their
potential. Great Plain Software is an example of an enterprise that supports
open space. Management encourages associates to "push out of the parameters
of their jobs." CEO Doug Burgum supports this by letting go of authority
and by supporting bottom-up innovation. Another example is Springfield
Remanufacturing Corporation (SRC). At SRC, management wants associates to do
away with their jobs. Says CEO Jack Stack, "We try to show people they
don't have to limit themselves and they do have choices. We try to eliminate the
sense of being trapped ... We continuously challenge people to tell us where
they want to go, what they want to do with their lives."
5. Harvesting the Fruits of Surprises
Serendipity can also be deployed to support chaos. In a Harvard Business Review
article, Ikujiro Nonaka states that high performing Japanese firms use
"highly subjective insights, intuitions and hunches of individual
employees" for developing new products. Says Nonaka, "Managers
everywhere recognize the serendipitous quality of innovation. Executives at
these Japanese companies are managing that serendipity to the benefit of the
company, its employees and its customers." Tom Peters, in Liberation
Management, also emphasizes the importance of serendipity. Peters also warns of
the myth of rational science and the illusions of discovering the Holy Grail of
risk free and certainty management in chaos theory, and such techniques as
visioning, information technology and culture change. Says Peters,
"Managing by accident, making friends with happenstance and enemies of
dreary plans, is a useful antidote to 'professional" management run
amok."
The development of Rubbermaid's Work Manager station illustrates the value added
potential of "managing through accident." This product was not
developed through analysis or rational decision making but came from Bud
Hellman's recognition while touring another subsidiary that its plastic
blow-molding technique could be used to develop an inexpensive line of office
furniture. Henry Mintzberg also presents an example of success through
serendipity. Mintzberg points out that Honda Motors didn't capture the American
motorbike market through a grand strategy but through serendipity. Here's the
story. Two executives come to the U.S. to sell large bikes. Targeted customers
were not interested in them. People were interested in the smaller cycles that
the executives had brought for their personal use.
Traveling, scouting and working with customers create a climate for serendipity.
Each encourages chance encounters. Says inventor Charles Kettering, "Get
going and the chances are that you will stumble onto something." The Bud
Hellman story illustrates the value of this practice. At Starbucks Coffee,
executives travel to a dozen cities each quarter to conduct open forums to
harvest new ideas. They gain insights for addressing environ concerns, improving
customer service and associate performance.
Scouting and working with customers on developing new and improving existing
products and service can also encourage serendipitous experiences. For example,
an Ingersoll-Rand team discovered that workers were taping tools while scouting
customers. This serendipitous experience led the team to recognize the
importance of tool comfort and to design a new profitable product.
6. Messing Up The Desk and Burning Down The House
Finally, chaos is created by a culture that encourages associates to mess up the
firm's desk, and to burn down the house of its existing products and services.
Chrysler illustrates how keeping the desk neat isn't good for profitability. Ron
Zarowitz wanted to mess up the firm's desk and burn down the house with the
introduction of a built in child seat. It took Zarowitz six years to mess up the
desk. When Chrysler introduced the seat, it discovered that customers were
buying them faster than they could be produced. Because it wanted to keep its
desk neat, Chrysler missed this revenue producing opportunity for years.

QUOTES to use in your staff meeting this month
========================================================
Finish each day and be done with it...You have done what you could; some
blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day; you should begin it well and serene
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength,
not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will.
Vince Lombardi
Two rules to follow: 1) Don't sweat the small stuff. 2) It's all small stuff.
Robert Elliot
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
Allen Lakein
I would rather be ashes than dust. I would rather that my spark would burn out
in a brilliant blaze than be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb
meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent
planet.
Jack London
==========================================================
HUMOR to lighten up
the executive suite ==========================================================
Colors
-------
I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I
decided to test her.
I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would
tell me. Even though she was always correct, it was fun for me, so I
continued asking her.
At last she headed for the door, saying, "Grandma, I think you
should try to figure out some of these yourself!"
The Sale
--------
Our supermarket had a sale on boneless chicken breasts, and a woman
I know intended to stock up. At the store, however, she was
disappointed to find only a few skimpy prepackaged portions of the
poultry, so she complained to the butcher.
"Don't worry, lady," he said. "I'll pack some more
trays and have them ready for you by the time you finish shopping."
Several aisles later, my friend heard the butcher's voice boom over
the public-address system: "Will the lady who wanted bigger
breasts please meet me at the back of the store."
Man
----
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish
and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day!
