It’s not uncommon that I ask a CEO if they have a business plan and the answer is “yes.”
But when I ask the follow up question “To what degree do your actions or the actions of your people match what’s called for in the plan?” the answer is “That’s purely coincidental.”
Can you relate? There is nothing more important than making sure your plan gets achieved in an efficient and timely fashion.
To make sure that your organization is operating to it’s fullest potential and not leaving money on the table requires two things:
- You need a strategy or plan that identifies business opportunities and organizational resources and objectives.
- You need to develop your people to be able to carry out the plan.
There are necessary interpersonal skills such as:
- motivation,
- communication, and
- attitudes.
There are also necessary management skills such as:
- planning,
- decision making,
- goal setting and,
- time management.
So, I’ll ask: Do you have a plan in place nd is it being used to drive your business forward? And, What are you doing to ensure that your people have the necessary interpersonal and management skills?
These are things that many people struggle with. If this is true for you and your people, you just can’t wait to address it any more. Because you are losing time you can’t get back.
