Today’s leadership teams are facing many challenges. They struggle with… • recruiting, selecting and retaining quality members • alignment within their teams and sometimes, dysfunction among team members • clearly defined roles, leading to confusion with team member accountability • the lack of a leadership succession process, particularly in family businessesThe result of these challenges often are numerous: • Wasted time and resources due to poor processes • Cash flow challenges restricting growth • Revenue growth challenges due to the lack of a growth strategyAre you aware that: the cost of a bad hire is estimated to be 5 to 27 times the amount of the person’s actual salary according to author Dr. Brad Smart, author of "Topgrading" and an authority of employee selection.According to a survey by Harvard Business Review, the average tenure of newly hired managers is just over two years.A survey by Harris Poll found that 46% of employees feel that their job responsibilities are unclear, and 43% feel that their manager is not effective at providing clear direction and expectations. Gallup says that as many as 40% of employees in the United States may be experiencing some level of ambiguity or lack of clarity in their job roles.Having a defined growth strategy is a key success factor. • A study by Deloitte found that mid-market companies with a growth strategy outperform their peers, with average annual revenue growth of 9.1% compared to 4.4% for companies without a growth strategy.We teach the Scaling Up operating platform that focuses on the 4 Key Decisions (Strategy, People, Execution, & Cash); the decisions companies need to get right to make it. I concentrate on getting you and your team to a "yes" in each area. Anyone can say they coach on Scaling Up's methods and tools, but not everyone can say they've scaled a company with this process. Strategy: Can you state your strategy simply in a sentence? Is it driving sustainable growth in revenue and gross profit? People: Would you enthusiastically rehire everyone on your team? Execution: Are all processes running without drama and driving industry-leader performance? Cash: Do you have consistent sources of cash, ideally generated internally, to fuel the growth of your business?If you're a leader who's curious about a proven process, I'd welcome your phone call. I’m sure our time will be well spent and result in some actionable insights.Tom@Tom Krekel.com505-554-4385
