We often hear leaders say, “We need to move faster.”

But faster is not always better.

Moving quickly in the wrong direction just gets you there sooner.

The businesses that execute well are not necessarily rushing every decision. They have removed a lot of the friction that slows other teams down.

They are clear on what matters most.

They know who owns what.

People understand what is expected of them & which decisions they can make without waiting for approval.

That clarity makes it much easier to move.

So here’s a question for the community:

What do you think slows businesses down the most?

Unclear priorities?
Too many approvals?
Lack of accountability?
Constant interruptions?
Something else entirely?

Share your thoughts below.

Sometimes the fastest way forward is to spend a little more time getting clear first.

One of the most memorable conversations we had with a founder wasn’t about growing the business.

It was about finding purpose after growth.

The founder had built a capable leadership team that successfully took over the day-to-day running of the business.

Instead of feeling relieved, she felt uncertain.

“If they’re doing all of this... what am I supposed to do?”

It’s a question many founders quietly ask themselves.

For years, their value has been measured by solving problems, making decisions & keeping everything moving.

When that responsibility shifts to a strong leadership team, it can leave a surprising sense of loss.

It reminded us that before we became absorbed in operations, we had built the business by thinking differently & challenging the status quo.

That’s where the greatest value had always been.

Sometimes founders don’t need to step back into the business.

They need to step back into their vision.

If this resonates, we’d love to help you navigate that next chapter.

Celebrate Small Wins in Business

27/08/2026

Have you noticed the finish line keeps moving?

Most business owners start with a fairly simple goal.

Win the first client. Then ten clients. Then build a team. Hit the next revenue target. Move into a bigger office. Reach the next milestone.

And almost as soon as we get there, we move the finish line again.

There is nothing wrong with that. Ambition is one of the things that drives great businesses forward.

The problem comes when every achievement becomes yesterday’s news before we have even stopped to appreciate it.

Something you are working towards today may have been the thing you dreamed about a few years ago.

So every now & then, it is worth looking back.

Notice what has changed. Recognise what you have built. Celebrate the progress, even if there is still plenty more you want to achieve.

Then keep moving forward.

Because building a better business is not only about reaching the next finish line.

It is also about making sure you enjoy some of the journey along the way.

If you’d like support building a business that is successful, sustainable & gives you a life you actually enjoy.

How Celebration and Accountability Work Together

26/08/2026

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor explores why another year on the Scorecard should never be treated as just another set of numbers. Instead, it can be an opportunity to recognise progress, strengthen culture & understand what is helping a business succeed.

Debra challenges the tendency for leadership teams to focus almost exclusively on what is going wrong. Red numbers, missed targets & Rocks that have fallen off track naturally attract attention, but when leaders only notice failure, they can unintentionally teach their teams that problems get recognised while consistent success simply becomes expected.

As her own business approaches its 21st anniversary, Debra reflects on the years of decisions, challenges, mistakes, relationships & achievements that build a business over time. She explores why celebrating success does not mean lowering standards or handing out praise for the sake of it. Genuine recognition is about noticing meaningful results, incremental improvements, courageous behaviours & people living the organisation’s Core Values.

The conversation also looks at how leaders can use their Scorecard differently. Instead of treating it purely as an exception report for problems, Debra encourages teams to examine what is going well & ask why. When a person or team consistently delivers strong results, understanding what they are doing differently can help turn individual success into a repeatable system that others can learn from.

Debra also explores what success looks like in family businesses, where commercial results are only one part of the picture. Healthy succession conversations, clearer boundaries between family & business, and next-generation family members earning their roles through merit can all represent significant wins that deserve recognition.

At the heart of the episode is Debra’s idea of carefrontational leadership. Great leaders need the courage to address underperformance, but they also need the awareness to acknowledge excellence. By asking questions such as “What are we proud of from the last 90 days?” & “What are we doing now that we used to find difficult?”, leadership teams can create a culture where progress is noticed as well as problems.

This episode is a reminder that another year on the Scorecard is more than a collection of targets & results. It is a story of what the business has learned, what its people have achieved & what can be celebrated as it continues to grow.

Celebrating Real Success and Leadership Insights

The Power of Recognising Sucesss in the Workplace

24/08/2026

20 years in business. Consistent growth. A strong track record.

But there comes a point where doing what has always worked isn’t necessarily enough to get a business to the next level.

That’s exactly where Augmento is right now.

After a great Focus Day, we're back with the leadership team for Vision Building Day 1, where they started putting some real clarity around where the business is heading next.

The team established their draft Core Values, which they’ve never formally had before, aligned around their Core Focus, & created a pretty special 10-Year Target that genuinely challenged them to think differently about what could be possible.

They also got much clearer on their Target Market & Three Uniques, which created some valuable conversations around exactly who they serve best & what makes the business different.

But one of the biggest insights came from looking at the fundamentals.

Their Scorecard was effectively acting as a rear-view mirror. It showed them what had already happened, rather than giving them the leading indicators they need to spot what’s coming & take action early.

So they fine-tuned the Scorecard, tightened up the Level 10 Meeting® & continued working on mastering the foundational tools.

Because vision without ex*****on is just a nice idea.

A clear vision, the right measurables, a strong meeting pulse & disciplined ex*****on?

That’s a winning formula.

Augmento has spent 20 years building a successful business. Now they’re getting really clear about what the next 10 could look like. 💡
