Business growth: How to control and manage it
Nothing stays the same. It either gets bigger or smaller. Better or worse. You either grow or you shrink. I found an article that discusses how to control and manage business growth. Here are a few key points.
In order to see if your company is growing in the right direction, you have to have a clear understanding of what business growth means specifically for your company. For some, it means they’ve increased the number of employees by a certain, target percentage. For others, it’s growing their brand to the point that it’s become a household name, even though it may not be bringing in money.
1. Know what you want your company to look like
The foundation of any successful business is a well-thought-out vision. It can be hard to direct company growth if you don’t have an end goal in sight.
2. Don’t fear change, embrace it
The best leaders are ones that can spot when the company isn’t growing and can steer it in a new direction before slow growth turns into decline.
3. Equip yourself with good management tools
Regardless of the size of your business, it’s important to ensure your management tools are being used correctly, and that they’re up to date. Proper use of business management tools will allow you to collect data, make changes, and grow your business accordingly.
4. Trust your gut
It's important that you don’t lose sight of your gut instinct, something that can get forgotten among a pile of statistics. What works for one company might not work for another. But with a clear strategy, and ability to see when changes need to be made, good management tools, and gut instinct, you’ll be well on your way.
