A note to ALL business leaders
No matter how good or bad the last year was for you and your business, the future is always bright. We have the chance to re-invent, re-align and re-connect with our purpose every year. When you get the fundamentals right, you win. If you have the will and adaptability to flex your systems without compromising your values, the only direction to go is up. As always, you strive to bring your very best to everything.
When you’re struggling with a decision, sometimes you just need a sounding board to help you think through the problem, diagnose the real cause, and decide on the best next steps to keep moving forward. No one is immune to this need, because we naturally tend to get mired “in” our business instead of working “on” our business.
Your own education and growth are critical to the organization. It’s imperative that you stay sharp and remain grounded; after all, you are the leader and model of all the good behaviors!
Please consider these three areas:
First, if you have a trusted peer group to help you, you will have new perspectives to identify, diagnose and candidly help you think through possible solutions. Ask me about Vistage!
Second, a coach with appropriate experience will bring clarity and help you question your answers. You can you can relax into your decision-making skills knowing that the group, and your coach, will have your back.
Third, consider a new way to build your strategy. Only around 20% of American businesses have a plan at all, and many of those put it in a drawer to collect dust. A fresh approach to creating the plan and knowing how to actually execute (this time) may be just what you need to build your next level of success.
