Growth Management
Never Stop Growing
Business are either in growth mode or retraction mode. There is no such thing as "staying the same". The world is changing, your customers are changing, your staff is evolving, the laws are changing, and the list goes on. Your business must keep up or get left behind.
Fostering a growth mindset is critical to the future health of your organization.
KPI's
Key Performance Indicators are like the dashboard for your business.
Many leaders monitor numbers that only tell a partial story. Or, sometimes metrics can be misleading if they aren't designed right.
When your KPI's are designed to give you the complete and correct picture then you can often see problems before they materialize.
Resources
The resources your company depends on go far beyond money and materials. You need time, energy, knowledge, skills, staff, vendors, technology and so forth.
But, you don't just need any of those elements, you need the BEST of those resources. You've heard the saying "junk in, junk out". If you want to grow, you need to give your living organization the best nutrition to thrive.
Team Building
Studies have shown that the primary difference between long-term success or failure is the people you have on your team.
Liking someone or displaying loyalty to a friend or family member is often a recipe for disaster. The people on your team need to be masters of their position. Anything less and you, as the leader, are making a conscious decision to cripple your organization.
