When I talk with clients, here's what they share.
We're missing an ownership mentality to motivate behavior.
It feels like the weight of the company is all on me all the time.
I want to develop my people and I don't see how I can do that with the more urgent needs of the business.
People don't really understand what it takes to run the business financially.
We're on a financial roller coaster.
Consider A Few Questions
How would you feel if you could combine people development with bottom line impact?
How would your team respond if they had confidence and were empowered to make good business decisions?
What would the relief feel like when your team supports and shares the weight of the company with you?
What would the experience be like to share rewards and recognition with everyone for your team's success?
When companies want an ownership culture that includes trust and engagement along with positive financial impact, we help them make it happen. We coach them in building an Open-Book Management system. In reality, It's a people operating system that leads to growth for both individuals and the business.
Teaching the financial operation of your business requires turning a complex topic into basic, easy to understand concepts. I did this exact kind of work over a 23-year brewing career. For example, teaching the brewing process to people - customers, service staff, interns, and assistants - involves breaking it down to its core basics and teaching people in support of their growth and learning. It's a process of repetition, coaching them through the struggle, recognizing mistakes are okay, and providing direct support.
The same concepts apply to building a business of business people. Let's make it happen together.
