Similarly, many CEOs experience difficulty valuing only three or four key objectives. Business managers and even group executives frequently have long lists of goals. They derive satisfaction by checking off one item after the next. The enterprise manager, however, should derive satisfaction from a short list of long time-cycle initiatives. Changing brand identity, for example, can take years. In a very real sense, the shift in values is from immediate gratification to sustained progress. Enterprise managers recognize that the most ambitious, significant objectives take time to achieve, and they learn to do without the quick fix of immediate achievement that characterizes other leadership levels in favor of slowly but surely working toward a major success. The confounding paradox, of course, is that side by side with this patience is the need to deliver quarter-by-quarter commitments. They resolve this paradox by learning to get certain things done fast and others slowly, and they make sure they don’t confuse the two (getting things done slowly that need to be done fast, for instance). Finding the balance between the short term and the long term and executing it is what makes CEOs successful.
