Start with small goals to build confidence in your abilities.
-
Your mindset is vital.

Business owners need to get buy-in from their teams to achieve their goals.
-
Reduce resistance by understanding what your team member´s priorities and goals are e.g. planning the work week, so people get more family time.

Monitor progress effectively.
-
Anticipate what resources are needed to achieve the goal ahead of time and act to fill those gaps before progress stalls.

Use automation to improve workflow and avoid the frustration and negativity that delays generate.

Put family time first and keep the channels of communication open.
