You don't need more motivation to achieve your goals; you need a better system.

As the CEO of an aircraft maintenance company, I know the constant struggle to meet high standards and drive results in a complicated industry. It's easy to think you must push yourself and your team harder. To motivate them to do more.

But, let's be honest, how far has that gotten you?

You're likely still pulling your hair out, trying to figure out how to turn those ambitious goals into actual, repeatable results.

It's time to let go of that self-defeating cycle and embrace a proven 4-step systems framework that works even when you're not motivated (you can put the useless whip away).

Step 1: Identify the Constraints Restricting Your Standards.

You can only fix what you know is broken.

And instead of setting goals that don't matter or creating procedures that suck up people's time, dig deep to find out what's keeping you from hitting high standards consistently.

Is it a lack of resources? A skill gap? An outdated process?

Once you've found your constraint, it's like shining a spotlight on the robber.

Step 2. Find People Who Own This Responsibility.

Don't try to do it all yourself.

Identify a team member or hire someone to own the constraint. Give them responsibility and authority to make changes. And please, for the love of all that's holy, let them do their job without micromanaging!

But that doesn't mean you won't hold them accountable for what matters.

3. Build Systems in a Business to Replicate Standards.

This is where the rubber meets the road.

Create templates for repeatable processes.

For example, you might need a better sales rep hiring and onboarding system if you're constantly missing sales targets. You can turn this repeatable process on as your sales numbers rise.

The key is you don't need more goals; you need better systems.

Step 4. Regularly Audit and Continuously Improve the Systems.

You didn't think you could set it and forget it, did you?

You and your team will constantly eliminate waste, innovate and improve your systems. I've found that auditing and improving a procedure every time it's executed is the most effective way to do this. Execute the process, take improvement notes, and schedule a task to make those adjustments later.

The systems in a business will become clogged if you don't regularly clean them.
