Feeling the pressure as your business grows?
As you expand, expect to face new hurdles: Your old framework might no longer be the right fit.
You'll need to build an executive team while streamlining your processes becomes crucial. And what about succession planning? Who takes over the reins when you step back?
And if that's not enough pressure, you also need to make sure everything keeps running smoothly while managing all these changes.
If you don't get it right, you can slow down your progress and put the future of your business at risk.
So, how can you handle these challenges and achieve sustainable growth? When's the best time to build an executive team? How do you kickstart succession planning? Is there a more flexible way to grow? And how can you be sure you're moving in the right direction?
In this episode, Bob Green and I talk about some practical strategies on how you can manage the complex task of growing your business. He shared the importance of adapting your business framework to accommodate growth and how to get your team excited about these changes and how they can help elevate your business to the next level of success.
Bob is the owner of TAB (The Alternative Board) North Shore and has led company growth from the war room to the board room to the conference room, with allies, and it's never been a coincidence. Instead, he's curated the experiences with people from the launch of a new product or service all the way through post-merger integrations. He's organized all of these experiences into one process consisting of mindset, accountability and performance with everyone in the company, without exceptions. The outcome for the company owner is improving company value, while creating a culture of stakeholder value, without anyone having to sacrifice their life to make it happen.
