diligent adjective
(dil·i·gent)
definition: characterized by steady, earnest, and energetic effort : painstaking
The etymology of diligent reflects the fact that devotion can lead to energetic effort. The word, which entered English in the 14th century by way of Anglo-French, comes from the Latin verb diligere, meaning “to value or esteem highly” or “to love.”
Diligere was formed by combining the di- prefix (from dis-, meaning “apart”) with the verb legere, meaning “to gather, select” or “to read.” Legere has itself proved to be a diligent contributor to English; its offspring include collect, lecture, legend, intelligent, and legume.
What is a diligent org?
The diligent organisation is a functional company structure that operates with strength, leanness and precision in the delivery of plans. This requires minds dedicated to being collectively exhaustive in their approach, whilst also being mutually exclusive in delivery. It also demands constant probing and challenging to go beyond the simple solution or initial hypothesis. At the heart lies the company DNA: is pushing the limits through diligent and thoroughness of thinking in the culture? Or has it been displaced over time by unchecked practises and mission creep that were too far in motion to stop? Recalibrating the org to deliver on core goals is a constant, requiring tight oversight: it requires management grip.
In short, a diligent org knows the answer to the question "did we achieve this outcome by design, or by default?".
