If you want to equip your business for success and to grow strongly you need to look at certain areas of the business itself. You will need to scrutinise your business, and in particular, scrutinise drivers.
This is all about knowing what to focus on and drilling down with ruthless efficiency to the absolutely critical drivers of successful.
Starting a business from scratch and having little money in the bank focuses your mind in a way that running a multibillion-dollar business never does. It brings the key drivers of performance into sharp relief. I promise.” According to Sallie Krawcheck.
The frustration here is that there are so many possible things you could look at in your business, and yet you have limited time, resources, and opportunities. What you want to do is focus only on those things that will drive your success. The answer is to be ruthless with those things that should not be taking your time, focus and attention. What will drive your future success? Scrutinising that, knowing where to invest, is critical, if you're going to grow and breakthrough your limiting ceilings.
If you get this right your organisation will move surprisingly quickly. If you don't identify that which will truly drive your future success, you'll be constantly hamstrung with resources in the wrong areas, people focused on distractions, or at least well-meaning projects that won't actually make the big difference that you're looking for.
The principle here is to scrutinise your drivers to focus your resources on what will bring success.
