Personal Changes Required for Business Growth

As you focus on taking your business to the next level, prepare to make the following changes in your own role:

• Shift your focus from doing work to managing and coaching others
• Stop making all the decisions .... develop a collaborative decision-making style and leverage your team's capabilities.
• Facilitate effective teamwork ..... hold more team meetings than one-on-one meetings
• Encourage open and honest communication .... healthy debate
• No longer tolerate organizational misfits
• Admit you don't have all the ideas and answers ... allow the creativity of others
• "Carry the flag" for process development
• Focus on creating the right mix of working on the big picture vs daily operations
