I meet with businesses each day, every day. I talk to friends in business nearly every day. John Maxwell said “You can't lead and moan at the same time.” You and I need to be leaders. We need to bank on what we know, determine what we don't know, and not be afraid of the fact that "we don't know what we don't know."
Today, I was reading a 57-page contract with tiny print. I went for a walk with my wife because my eyes were glazing over.
Most businesses I meet with have gaps in areas. We all do.
The biggies are training, systems, not listening to wisdom and leadership thinking. If you and I want to become better businessmen and women, we need to become better leaders. Realize what we don't know. And let others provide support.
Business is hard enough (Inflation, fuel prices, and staffing) without shooting ourselves in the foot.
Let's begin to not only support one another but receive help, listen, and implement.
If we don't change where we are going, we end up where we are heading.
