Are You Confident Your Business Rhythm Is Driving The Right Results?

We all know what happens to a band when they don’t have rhythm. Perhaps you’ve seen that at a child’s musical performance? It feels disjointed and awkward, and the same happens when companies don’t have rhythm. Your team gets out of step, you don’t know what tune you are trying to play and the audience will cringe. Want to see how much rhythm your business has?

The Rapid Growth Rhythm guide will help you achieve your results this year. To perform your Rapid Growth Rhythm Review, ask your executive team these questions:

1. Do we have a three-year Leapfrog Strategy in place? ( Chapter 4)
   

2. Have we determined our Leapfrog Strategy? ( Chapter 4)
   

3. Do we have a CEO and Executive Team Succession Plan in place? ( Chapter 4)
   

4. Are we clear on our annual priorities?
   

5. Do we have a robust budget-plan process and reality?
   

6. Do we review our people capabilities and capacity to deliver?
   

7. Have we calculated our Capacity Hiring Funnel? ( Chapter 7)
   

8. Has every leadership team shared objectives where relevant? (Chapter 11)
   

9. Does every employee have individual objectives?
   

10. Are objectives tracked and is feedback shared quarterly?
    

You need to have every single above step complete if you truly want to create rapid growth - then you have the rhythm you need to create an outstanding performance.

All of the answers to "How do I do that?" are in my latest book, Rapid Growth Done Right.

If you own it already - you can note and go back to each of the chapters to find more specific support.

Have You Anticipated The Joy Of Returning To Real Life Interaction?

Have you been back to the office yet? Held a real life meeting? Held a team meeting in real life? Attended a company event in person? Been to an industry conference?

I’ve been reading articles and social media posts from my teacher friends who have been back in classrooms these last couple of weeks and it occurred to me the anticipation of returning to real life brings just as much joy as the act itself. I am hearing that despite all of the challenges, restrictions, and requirements the pure joy of interacting in real life classrooms versus an electronic letterbox view is quite exhilarating. If that is happening in schools, imagine when work returns to being physically present for at least some of the time?

Right now I am planning with many of my clients what that return to in person business will look like —-the future of work —-the possibilities —-the opportunities — the realities of bringing people physically together again.

This isn’t about getting by, this isn’t about making do, this isn’t about following along once you figure it out. This is the ONE opportunity you have to reset how you innovate, communicate, lead, and create remarkable solutions for your customers. There are some really innovative ideas
that will soon become reality.

Are you thinking big enough?
