Without Vision, I believe humans are left blowing aimlessly in the wind—rudderless in turbulent water. That being said, a company’s strategic vision describes what? Let's frame it up a bit together.
Communication! Communication is very personal. How we effectively communicate with others matters on many levels. In the end, being an effective communicator is the goal. To outwardly convey a message received as intended, with desired awareness or action taken. In a nutshell, there it is.
Leadership framework matters, systems matter, people matter more!
Understanding your unique role in the organization with absolute clarity is key to effectively executing in any role. Clearly defined organizational vision, mission, and values are the foundation for effective managerial leadership, as they enable sound decision-making and positive outcomes.
Work ethic is an essential component of individual character, and it reflects the dedication, integrity, and discipline of an individual towards his/her work. It is a set of moral principles that govern an individual's work performance, and it is often associated with hard work and its intrinsic value.
In that sense, work ethic itself is not necessarily a skill, however, the idea of work ethic extends beyond just hard work; it includes working smart, being effective, utilizing time well, and finding joy in work. And these are certainly skills you can train and improve upon.
In this blog, we explore many facets of a person's work ethic, using the framing method of shoulda, woulda, and coulda, to examine how it affects individuals, organizations, and society. We discuss skills you can train to grow your own work ethic, but also better understand how your work ethic and character were shaped.
One of the biggest hindrances to getting things done effectively is the stress and pressure that comes with work. Feeling constantly behind schedule and overwhelmed with tasks can lead to short tempers, rude behavior, and poor results. That's why it's important to reduce stress in the workplace to help you and those you serve perform at your best.
As a leader, your mindset and ability to provide organizational vision are critical for success. To lead a team anywhere you need to know exactly where you are going. Without a plan, you have no way to measure, win, and repeat.
A Simple Strategic Plan is YOUR roadmap for success. The question is: are you using a GPS or are you driving the back roads? A thoughtful Strategic Plan ensures your direction, and running a business without one leads to unnecessary struggle.
So what is your strategic plan for your small business this year?
