If you are in management there are huge amounts of information to process and there is also the gut instinct, you have that you know what I am talking about. In football it is knowing instinctively when to weave and dodge when you have the ball and the entire rest of the time want to pummel your butt. All you care about it the goal line and the touch down.

Well good for you, but has your team set it self up properly to achieve that goal? Hopefully so and you will need some power players to run block and crush those defenders who try to take your destiny away from you. You need to know which defenders you need to look at for, as these are your targets.

How do you know who they are? Well, you should have studied everything about your competition before the game. You must know your competition, as well as you know your customers; that is to say as much as you know the goal line. You must also know their methods and offers to the customer, as you are competing now on the scoreboard of business and the stakes can get pretty high.

Not only must you achieve that goal, but you must do it again and again and as efficiently as possible. Victory in business is yours if you have the balls to make it happen and when you have the ball and your team is working together and managing all the obstacles correctly, well lets just say that the goal is as good as yours. Consider this in 2006.
