Are you a B2C entrepreneur struggling to manage a team that is seemingly unable to row in the same direction?Maybe business was great for a while, but now employee turnover is high, customers are a challenge and you’re working overtime just to hold the business steady. You’re concerned about your future.Small business leadership has changed. Ten years ago, you could keep your grand vision to yourself and treat employees like task rabbits rather than stakeholders. Today, your people want to know *why* they do *what* they do. They want an inclusive, inspiring work culture. They need to feel like they’re part of something bigger than themselves.How do your team members serve more than just your bottom line? What greater purpose do they serve? Here’s a place to start:✦Passion✦ Get clear on your passion, vision, and values and share that information with your staff. When they know your “why,” they’ll rally around you.✦Motivation✦ Set aside time each week for a team meeting to discuss what’s going well, where you can do better and what’s on the horizon.✦Communication✦ When meeting with employees, focus on aligning all discussions with values, rather than assignments and tasks.After 15 years of entrepreneurship, 5 years in hospitality administration, and 8 years managing the Mayo School of Continuing Medical Education, where I oversaw 300 meetings annually, I’ve learned to love the details and thrive in chaos. There’s a reason people call me the Little Spark. Yes, I’m 4’11” with energy to spare, but my real superpower is lighting a fire that turns clients’ passions into profits.“Working with LuAnn on identifying our business visions and passions has had a tremendous impact on our team work, communications, morale and achieving our goals.” --Joe S., Director, Visiting Angels Home Care When your employees love working with you, your customers will too.
