I have created the Impactful Leadership Manifesto to encourage leaders to consider the impact they are having on their various stakeholders.

It's easy to overplay what we input into our businesses (such as?hours invested), without considering the impact of these actions. The most successful leaders of the best companies understand that?impact on employees, clients, partners and shareholders matters more than input.

Mantra 5

If you asked your employees to describe your current business strategy, what response would you get?

If you're confident they would repeat the actual strategy (in their own words), congratulations! This means your plan is both understandable and memorable.?

Alternately, if you think they would respond with a vague answer (or a shrug of the shoulders) then there's work to be done...?

Simply stated, if your employees don’t know the strategy it's going to be difficult for them to demonstrate the purpose and enthusiasm you desire, and most importantly to implement your plan at all.?

Creating a compelling strategy is not quick or easy to achieve, which is why some leaders neglect this essential task. Whilst this is understandable, it's also flawed thinking because your strategy represents the direction your business is moving in. How can you lead people if they don't know where you are leading them??

Your?strategy should differentiate your organisation and impact all its activities. Believing that your inherent contrast to your competitors will make stakeholders choose you is an unrealistic approach. You cannot compete without a proper gameplan.?

Does this resonate with you??If you would like to find out more about how I coach and how this could work for you, please get in touch ...

Hello, I’m Nick Cramp. I’ve been working as business owner and coach now for around three decades.

During this time, it often occurred to me that many leaders feel unfulfilled by their work, which seemed a pity given the amount of time and effort they have invested. I want to change this, so have created and collected a selection of the best strategies for business improvement.

My main mantra is that an organisation must get better before bigger. The reason for this is that without the best people, processes and systems, you have no springboard to reach that next level and sustain this success.

In 2021, I published my book Better before Bigger – Rethinking Business Success , which alongside my coaching and courses, outlines a holistic approach to running a thriving company.

I want to guide ambitious leaders towards the best practices and results, so their reality can align with their ambitions.
