What Does Winning Look Like? 🔥
This is one of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself at the beginning of any endeavor:
"What does winning look like?"
First, get crystal clear on your definition of winning. Once you know that, you can reverse-engineer the journey and plot the path that gets you there. You can’t arrive at your destination without first deciding where you want to go.
As Steven Covey reminds us in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People:
"Start with the end in mind.”
Asking “What does winning look like?” is a simple but transformative exercise. It quickly creates clarity and alignment, whether you’re working solo or with a group. It surfaces each person’s genuine desires in a natural, uncomplicated way. You can use it for long-term visions, major projects, or even micro-goals - like asking, “What does winning look like for this meeting?”
The true power of this question is that it allows you to design from your ideal, your best-case scenario. When done as a team, it aligns everyone around a common vision, with each member feeling invested because their voice has been included.
For leaders, this question removes the guesswork. Instead of assuming what success means, you illuminate it clearly for yourself and others.
Example: Imagine you’re planning a team retreat. If you ask each person, “What does winning look like for this retreat?” one person might say team bonding, another might say learning new skills, and another might say relaxation and fun. By surfacing these answers, you can design a retreat that blends all three elements, leaving everyone satisfied and aligned.
