THE NEED FOR TRANSFORMATION

 

THERE COMES A TIME WHEN:

  • The owner can’t control everything
  • The owner can’t make all of the decisions
  • The owner can’t be involved in all of the services
  • The owner can’t be everything to everyone
  • The owner can’t be totally responsible for the success of the business
  • The owner cannot be the business

THIS IS THE TIME WHEN:

  • Most entrepreneurial organizations fail, stagnate, or are sold
  • Many opportunities are lost
  • Many entrepreneurs experience failure or burnout
  • Many families become distressed
  • The structure of the business must change
  • The owner must change roles

THIS IS THE TIME FOR A VISION
A TIME FOR NEW ROLES AND NEW GOALS:

  • Building a business becomes the main goal
  • The owner replaces control with leadership and coaching
  • The owner replaces doing with delegations and mentoring
  • The business is developed to operate independently of the owner
  • Systems, policies, and procedures replace direct control
  • The resources of the business are focused on creating and exploring new opportunities
  • The demands for market exploration exceed the entrepreneurs service ability
  • Entrepreneurial abilities are extended through others
  • There is no direct operational responsibility for the entrepreneur
  • If you can’t visualize a new role, you can’t execute one

THIS IS A TIME WHEN:

  • Authority seeks the lowest effective level
  • Reactive becomes proactive
  • Individuals become leaders
  • Leaders guide a capable team
  • Owner becomes the coach
  • Vision spreads throughout the organization
  • Business becomes more effective than the founder
  • Company takes on a life of it’s own
  • Business continuity becomes a reality

WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE IS YOUR BUSINESS?
IS THIS WHERE YOU CHOOSE TO BE?
