Searching for the Truth To Grow Your Business
There is just one thing that separates high performing businesses from those that are still aspiring to reach and maximize their growth potential. You may think it’s an innovative way to apply resources or to leverage a company’s unique competitive advantage, or a capacity to execute a clearly defined plan. No! The differentiating factor is more ordinary than anybody could guess – it’s the ability of a leader to see and think about their enterprise differently.
These leaders are passionate, actually insistent about things that others would consider unimportant to the work of the work, the business of business, or other classic drivers of performance. Basically, they look past the surface issues with “soft eyes.” This may sound odd, particularly for those of you who are concrete business operators, but it works!
Diving deeper and understanding what is going on BEHIND the work, BEHIND the customer, BEHIND the workings of a team, BEHIND the numbers versus accepting surface assumptions about all these areas, uncovers the truth.
