OVERVIEW

Having worked with so many companies of all shapes and sizes in my career, it never ceases to amaze me: The frequent presence of one or more major, obvious and easily-solved mistakes made in enterprise and personnel management, such as:

  • lack of an intelligent and coherent business strategy
  • weak identity/branding
  • massive under-marketing
  • lack of regular strategic and competitive reviews
  • lack of visibility/accountability systems and reporting (starting with KPI’s)
  • the inability to understand how to energize and motivate staff
  • ineffective talent search and recruiting
  • unnecessary bureaucracy
  • lack of standard operating procedures (SOP’s) and continuous improvement programs
  • unnecessary and destructive micromanagement of staff
  • non-recognition and/or tolerance of office politics, harmful egos, and poor performers
  • weak or non-existent emphasis on collaboration and creative thinking
  • lack of meeting management, resulting in zero action items or execution specifics (who/what/when)

The list goes on and on.

When you solve these things – and it’s easy to do – businesses quickly take off, their revenue and profitability soar, their employees’ incomes and incentives and happiness and energy grow, and they’re far more creative, forward-thinking, and fun to work in, at all levels.

I make sure the companies I work with recognize any such problems and quickly zero them out.
