Unlikely Display Of Business Success

When we talk about business it is usually about delivering on your promise, and providing a great client experience. The process is different for every client, but it starts with intimately understanding your client’s needs and creating deliverables that solve real world problems for your customer.

Once you identify the fundamentals, the most important element of the business, job one, is getting your team working together towards a single objective.  That is not always easy.  Everyone pulling in the same direction requires discipline, dedication, planning, organization, and execution so you can reach your stated objectives. Your team is only as strong as the weakest member so it’s critical everyone understands they are not working alone.  

If you have to replace a team member, do so decisively.  Remember, one of the most important elements of a leader's role is finding the best people, don't rush to hire. Hire slowly and fire quickly.  Decisions need to be made on how to achieve positive results.  Sometimes that includes taking another path, changing your initial approach to attain your goal.

Given how rapidly the world is changing, it is likely you will have to make continuous course corrections to your business strategy so you can stay relevant and grow your audience. In a post-pandemic world, the ability to be digitally agile, having the ability to adapt in the digital world, is one of the most important investments you can make in yourself and your business.

Business need not only be about attaining a goal, I believe in a synergistic relationship between work and play. Clients want an organic approach to their lifestyle where they can have the flexibility they want with a successful business that is self-sustaining. This approach can be translated for the majority of things that we do in business and elsewhere, if we put in the work.  

If someone told me that you could capture everything about achieving success in business through one video, I would have been skeptical. However, I was extremely impressed to see that the World Taekwondo demo team has taken this approach and elements to heart to produce one of the most amazing displays I have ever seen.  Unable to perform at the Olympics as expected, they decided to take another path, showing all of us what it truly means to be part of a team in this unlikely display of business success
