It’s the oddest thing. I feel fine, even great most of the time, yet the doctors, the numbers my blood work provide, the mask I have to wear when I go outside or when I’m around people, all say I’m sick!

Last blog we discussed how as your company grows and expands it seems harder and harder to communicate your vision. People at the tactical level of your company often don’t know what the strategy for your business is. In fact they don’t know a lot of things that are important for them to know about your business. There’s often a huge gap on how they work with prospects and customers due to poor communication of your vision and strategy, let alone company policies.

Recently I rediscovered the value of routine when I purchased a new computer. If you’ve had the occasion to move to a new computer recently perhaps you will recognize the disruptive forces that occur when suddenly you are without the use of your computer for several hours or in my case more than a day as your old data is restored to your new computer.

You've heard the story of the boss who has two rules: Rule #1 The Boss is Always Right. Rule #2 When the boss is wrong, refer to Rule #1.
In many companies this time of year for annual planning revolves around one person making plans, usually the president or owner(s). The reason this occurs is often multiple. First the business owner started the business and in order for the business to grow it’s always been dependent upon him/her to make the plans. Another reason is that getting input from others takes time, precious time that many owners and company presidents don’t have or don’t care to take. Habits are hard to break. Setting directives and being in a commanding if not dominate position has worked in the past. It’s decisive, impactful, quick, and if it’s gotten results in the past there’s no reason to change.
As your business grows however the problem with this one person or small group making all the decisions on direction, objectives, and priorities is its limited ability to take into account all the obstacles and challenges that your priorities might face.

Who is the founder, president, chief executive officer (CEO), and chairman of the board of one of the largest corporations in the world whose annual detachment exercise helped him to come up with an idea that transformed his business and industry? I’m sorry. I’m afraid I’m going to make you wait until my next blog.
