You’ve created a great business and started hiring a great team. Now what??
Leading your team is different than working your business.
You worked hard and created a business that makes a difference. It has grown too big. You need staff to grow more and serve more people. That is an entirely different business and skill set. Learning how to lead, communicate and inspire, set clear Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), create accountability and use a rhythm to stay on top of everything is the key.
Having a process that produces accountability is the key.
Your team needs clearly communicated foundations. They have clarity on what must get done in their jobs. You have created an accountability system to keep track and connected. Everything moves faster and smoother. Most business owners have difficulty with this transition. They know how to do things in the business, but they aren’t well skilled in running a company and delegating. It doesn’t have to be this way.
“I have worked with Steve for about a year now. Our company was experiencing some significant growth and I recognized that the leadership skills I had would not be enough to keep pace with the growing organization. Like many small companies that experience growth, our organizational structure lacked organization and structure! As a matter of fact there was a fair amount of disorganization. I was extremely focused on the day to day, and had blinders on to the "big picture". It was crucial that I learn to lean into the growth we were experiencing. Within a few meeting Steve dissected some of the issues we were having and he was able to tame the disorganization by teaching me some techniques to immediately deal with the issues that were the root of the problems. I was so impressed by the effectiveness and impact of our meetings over the first few months, I asked Steve if he would be willing to work with some of my management team. After a few meetings with my staff I saw an immediate improvement as he was able to work through some of the "kinks" in a very friendly, non-confrontational way. This provided the understanding and momentum needed to help me and the team grow.”
