A Fundamental Key to Business Success
As I look back on nearly three decades of working with companies around the world, I think a few key ideas are?fundamental to business success.
?
Here is one of them:
The success of your business is directly tied to the quality of the people you can get, grow and keep on your team – and the relationships they create with your customers.
I have yet to meet a single business leader that does not strongly agree with this idea. However, I see many businesses that still need to live this idea. Today I want to talk about the growth and development of top talent.

Once you get somebody on your team, there is no excuse for not investing time, energy, and money in helping that person continuously improve.
This is the most important investment you can make in your company. You cannot improve your company without highly talented people who are steadily improving.

These are just a few things I came up with off the top of my head. I'm sure there are several more you could?add to this list. But here is my point.

A good deal of what I have listed is free, much of it is very inexpensive, and only a few things require a significant financial investment. But I can tell you that not doing the items on this list is very expensive.

2 年John Spence Thanks John. Really enjoyed reading the article. When I first began my sales career, I was fortunate to have a leader who introduced me to Seven Habits, How to Win Friends and Good to Great (Just to name a few). Each quarter he would purchase a book, ask us to review and share key learnings. I remain very grateful for his commitment to my growth and development. They were the source of great learnings.
