Business Tip Tuesday 🚀

Statistics share facts and essential truths, and the truth is that we should all invest in our people!

Self-awareness is required in Leadership. Reputation is a prerequisite to effective Leadership. Reputation is everyone's responsibility!

It is the leader's job to ensure that Reputation is managed effectively! But make no mistakes, it is everyone's job to maintain and elevate organizational Reputation. Trust, performance, and engagement are critical for a strong Organizational Reputation.

Reputation is a long-term word. One must have a vision of what one desires to be known for and work towards it in the good, bad, and in between times. There will be bumps, bruises, and damaged egos along the journey. Reputation is built by a demonstrated long-term body of work, personally, professionally, and organizationally!

Lately, I’ve been thinking about the different types of performance.

As I work with individual clients, and in our group coaching formats, I have learned many spread themselves far too thin, diluting their performance personally, professionally, and organizationally. It does not have to be this way.

What do you think?  Are you performing up to par?

As a business leader, you must know when to hold, fold, pivot, or stick it out. Setting business goals is part of forecasting, educated guessing, elevating, and adapting. Believe it or not, most do not establish new business goals for the team to rally behind. It's astonishing!

Gaining focus and getting things done can be difficult in this fast-paced and immediate world. Learn how to prioritize yourself. Yes, you can accomplish what you want and need to get done, and you will approach matters differently if you are serious.

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? 

Often we as humans have blind spots. If left unchecked, these blind spots prevent us from our true potential.  Now, it is time to elevate and find some personal clarity.

I have a question for you, are you your best self? Furthermore, are you your best self while at work?

You may ask, “What does that even mean?”

Personal development is a journey. We must excel personally, to excel professionally, and organizationally. It is a lot of work, and many shy from getting on it. Know there is no end point; this is a life-long personal journey.
