By doing the work you will give certainty, direction and alignment to your whole team. With everyone on the same page, the culture changes and everything will feel energised and focused.
You’ll also have a whole lot more fun as a result. Success feels good.
During the MyBusiness step you will:
- create your strategy to deliver the business objectives and goals
- align and inspire your people to deliver the strategy
- create a sense of urgency and momentum to spark action
- embed the values, behaviours and high-performance culture required for success
I can’t tell you how many leaders skip this part. Those that do focus on strategy and deliverables, balancing the what and the how, the doing and being parts, create lasting and impactful cultures. It does take daily practice, because people naturally like to go back to old behaviours and habits.
The world is changing constantly, and no sooner have you embedded a new behaviour, process, product or service, something else comes in and diverts attention. Perhaps you have a new team member, lose a customer base, upgrade your IT systems or face a global pandemic. As your business evolves, you must lead people back to the overarching purpose and goals, whilst maintaining the culture, values and behaviours that you have invested so much time in embedding. You will adapt and amend your strategy, yet remain focused on the objectives and direction.
When you take care of your people, over communicate with openness and transparency, your people will return with loyalty, trust and commitment. They will want their own teams to succeed and feel connected to something bigger than themselves. You move from a high performing team, to a high performing business. You are not only operating in a smart way, the systems, processes, innovation financial health, but you will also access the multiplier.
You become a healthy organisation. You get the best of people's hearts and minds.
