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 provides clear direction. Running a business without one leads to unnecessary struggle!
So what is your strategic plan for your small business this year?
I don't know about you, but I don't like being or feeling stuck. However, I find myself in a stagnant state from time to time,...
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.
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.
Active Listening in the workplace (and the rest of life) does not come naturally for many--myself included, and I lead this group! Those who master this skill build better relationships, find more meaningful clarity, achieve goals, maximize potential, and develop superior problem-solving skills. For these reasons alone, and there are several more, we as leaders must enhance our listening skills.
Ethics bleed into all we do and wherever we do it in our lives. Understanding our individual and organizational compass is critical in leadership. As circumstances evolve and technology expands and tests our limits, what keeps our personal and corporate behaviors in check? Our ethics does that. How we behave when no one is looking is critical for success in any organization but sometimes overlooked or assumed to be a certain way.
When building your mindset and behavioral beliefs, my question is, does your model of mindset and behavior beliefs align with the organization? If not, why? If so, how can you grow and expand it?
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!
Generational personal effectiveness skills are varied. When building a collaborative team in your workplace, do you intentionally harvest these generational skills, trends, and aptitudes? Or do you try to make everyone fit your cookie cutter?
