Outcome Oriented

Outcome oriented can be defined in entrepreneur as activities that bring benefits through the development of a profit-oriented business (Cole, 1969). If you, as a facilitator accept the contract to work with a client to achieve their desired outcome, then what? One of the distinguishing features of the kinds of issues presented in therapy, compared to say coaching, is that the path between current state and desired outcome is rarely a straight line. Clients are likely to have multiple ill-formed desires, operating at multiple levels which are likely to change as therapy progresses. So what is a Neurolinguistic Psychotherapist to do? NLD methodology teaches us to adopt an outcome orientation. This is not simply about setting a goal and going for it. Rather it is a flexible and dynamic approach that keeps the clients’ desired outcome firmly in the therapist mind while guiding their choice of behaviour. In other word, the desired outcome should act as a “dynamic reference point” (Penny Tompkis) for each and every thing the therapist does and says. Outcome orientation also means focussing on the actual outcome or result, i.e, what actually happens over different time frames.

In the moment – What the client actually does and says.

In the session – What the client experiences in the session.

Across session – What happens outside the consulting room?

Over the long term – Does the client maintain their outcome?

The entrepreneur that can be related to the outcome oriented is Steve Job, the CEO and co-founder of Apple’s company. This is because Steve Job is a typical highly autocratic leader. Autocratic leadership means that a leader always give instruction and hold over to the employees or team. The team or employees cannot bring up idea even if they are the best. Authoritarian leaders are not concerned about the will and needs of their followers. This means that he emphasize the outcome rather than the process to achieve goals. Autocratic leadership style can direct to speedy decision-making and greater productivity under leader’s supervision. This leadership style perform only when the leader is the best in performing or when the job is inexperienced or where the project is short-term and risky. Because of this kind leadership, Job led Apple into globalization. But it was his complete genius combined with his ability to state clearly about his vision and bring staff, investors and customers along on the journey that made it work. With his type of the leadership that emphasize the outcome oriented, the results is undeniably.

Team Oriented

Definition of team oriented is that you just don’t think of just yourself, you include others in your decisions. Everyone has a contributing factor in the operations and decisions that concern the business or venture. No one is more superior in the business and everybody has an equal say without any repercussions.
