Driver of business performance
Leadership
Do we have the people and leadership to keep growing?
The business issue
Every business eventually outgrows the capacity of the person running it. Leadership is the driver that determines whether the next stage is possible: who you hire, how you develop them, and whether accountability exists without you enforcing it.
Symptoms owners recognize
- ●You cannot take two weeks away without the business dipping
- ●Hiring feels like a coin flip
- ●Good people leave and you are not sure why
- ●Managers manage tasks, not outcomes
- ●Difficult conversations get postponed indefinitely
