6ers, knowing the value of always pushing oneself to be better and more efficient is a skill that can be put to use everywhere, from the battlefield to the boardroom. Your company will succeed and make consistent growth if you commit to a strategy of continuous improvement, which is in line with the principles of tactical progression.
Gordon Logan is a airmen, businessman, and philanthropist who joins Tony Nash on the show this week. SportsClips, which he founded and chairs, is one of the most successful and rapidly expanding hair care franchises in the United States. It has been named by Entrepreneur as one of the Top 10 "Fastest-Growing Franchises" and by Forbes as one of the "Top Ten Best Franchises" to buy for its investment category. Help A Hero Scholarship, which he founded, aids veterans in pursuing post-military education at universities or vocational schools.
You will find out that the kaizen (or continuous improvement) mindset has the potential to teach you something new about running a company. Consistency, discipline, and the introduction of systems with defined procedures are essential when developing a long-term strategy for your company's growth and success.
Thus, you will find that adopting military concepts with the kaizen approach to business leads to a more robust and effective strategy for enhancing operations. Focusing on gradual changes and sticking to established processes may help your business grow and thrive over the long run.
