PRINCIPLE #1PERSONAL VELOCITY PRINCIPLE – How much work you can accomplish each day is determined by your personal velocity.
VELOCITY = DRIVE X ENERGY
“The true Art of Leadership is getting people to do what you want them to do because THEY WANT to do it.”
Dwight Eisenhower
“Just do what I told you to do!!!”
PERSONAL VELOCITYVELOCITY = ENERGY x DRIVE
Jim Cathcart, author of the best selling book “The Acorn Principle”“Your team will
always be a mix of velocities. You must learn to manage each level.”
Jim Cathcart
ENERGY x FORWARD MOVEMENT WORK
HIGH VELOCITY• You Are self-motivated • Love to work towards challenging goals• High aspirations and high standards • Competition excites you• High expectations of yourself • Always thinking about tasks, goals or work • Leisure time is used to GROW! • You find inactivity to be frustrating • You prefer long hours filled with varied activity
How do you manage a High Velocity employee?1. MAXIMUM FREEDOM 2. MAXIMUM FEEDBACK

“You can increase your SUCCESS VELOCITY
by making right choices with what you do with your talent
and with your people.Alignment is THE KEY when assigning tasks to people.”
Jim Cathcart, author of best selling book, “The Acorn Principle”
MODERATE VELOCITY
• Your drive is to be somewhat self-motivated • You set reachable goals • You have moderate aspirations • You don't demand absolute perfection • Accept competition, though you don't require it • You like a balance of work and leisure • You prefer standard work days • A moderate mix of activities • Use leisure time to complete chores and to socialize • You find inactivity relaxing, meaning you can just lie
on the beach and feel good about the time spent.
How Do You Manage A Moderate Velocity Employee?1. THEY MUST FIND
MEANING IN THEIR EFFORTS.
2. THEY MUST KNOW THAT THEIR EFFORTS MATTER.
As you lead them, you have to
SELF-MODERATE which starts with SELF-AWARENESS.“Moderate velocity
requires a less intense approach or else you’ll overwhelm them and they’ll shut down.”
Jim Cathcart
50% of workforce
Tips – They have to know…
Why should I come to work tomorrow? Why does this matter?
They need to know the meaning and that someone cares.
You gotta make space to listen to them.
NEED A MOTIVE!!“Leadership is not about the next
election, it’s about the next generation.” Simon Sinek, author of best selling book, Start With The Why: How
Great Leaders Inspire Everyone To Act
LOW VELOCITY• Driven primarily by immediate needs or by others. • You find work generally demotivating. • Do not like to be a solo performer or leader of the
team. • You seldom set big goals. • You have mild aspirations, not lofty ones.• You really don't like competition, avoiding it if
possible. • Casual about your leisure time, which you use to
pursue personal or social interests. • Enjoy occasional inactivity and appreciate your own
downtime.

ENOUGH MEANING IN THEIR EFFORTS TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO ENGAGE.
2. SHOW THEM HOW YOU WANT IT DONE.
