Business Tip Tuesday 🚀

Where are you going? Do you know, does your team know? Do your customers know? Without Vision, everyone blows aimlessly in the wind—rudderless in turbulent water. To me, it starts with personal Vision.

As an executive leader, your personal vision statement must align with the corporate organizational vision statement at the personal level.

Without alignment, how can an executive drive organizational vision? If the personal Vision is not in alignment from the start, how can there be success? The dilemma is that most corporate executives and small business owners do not have a clearly defined personal vision, let alone a written vision Statement – I think you know where we are going by now!

Building work relationships and building your communication style inventory is about managing objections. Often, as a manager, we receive inbound objections regularly. If we take them personally, it can become overwhelming for many. Think of it this way: an objection is a form of engagement. You have a starting point!

Welcome to the true signal, engagement! What?

Our communication style effects our unique personal effectiveness. The words we choose matter if we wish to communicate effectively personally, professionally, and organizationally! It's a mindset thing. If you work with me, you know mindset is everything. Our mindset establishes our tone. If the mindset is out of balance, desired outcomes, and thus profitability, will no doubt follow suit.

What is one typical effect of growth for a business? Effective business communication is my answer. This might surprise you, but business growth depends on the ability of the team at all levels to communicate effectively. Internally and externally. Communication is a system. Those who understand this can make measured improvements and teach others how to do the same. The business will experience growth at all levels if implemented effectively, with intentional work. If left to circumstance and interpretation, communication variables will rule the day and fall short of desired outcomes.

To me, it boils down to identifying critical inputs and outputs. Communication at the personal, professional, and organizational levels is a system. If done correctly, the team, customer, and company will have their needs met. Done incorrectly…you know the drill. Wasted resources, frustration, loss of customers and valuable team members, and profitability suffers.

Effective business communication is required for all managerial success. As managers, we often assume others know what they should know to implement their tasks effectively. There is the fundamental managerial assumption! Usually, this assumption is incorrect and can negatively affect desired outcomes and profitability.

How does innovation relieve stress at work? Great question, in order to answer that, we must start by understanding the concept of innovation a bit better.  When we say the word “Innovation,” it can be a bit scary.... in there is the idea of more work, the unknown, and risk. All of which are ideas many FEAR:  False Expectations Appearing Real.  #stress

Yet we know to be relevant in the world of tomorrow, we must innovate. But like anything, “If it is not broken, why fix it?” This is the quandary.

This is where discipline, creativity, talent, trust, awareness of the future, performance, understanding of self, and reflection play significant roles. Along with your ability to pivot. These concepts when applied properly personally, professionally, and organizationally, will work to relieve stress across the board.

A key to effective leadership is the ability to maintain balance and Control.

Do you find yourself consistently overwhelmed with work and wishing you had more time for your loved ones? Many business owners, executives, and leaders can relate to this struggle. But what if there was a way to empower your employees so that you don't have to be the sole problem-solver in your organization?

Imagine a scenario where you can take a vacation without worrying about every little detail in your business. It may seem impossible, but it's not. By giving your team the trust and autonomy to solve problems on their own, you can free up your time to focus on the bigger picture.
