Jim Collins, the author of "Good to Great", reports that most great companies do not resort to layoffs. Instead, they have a "culture of discipline" philosophy.

A culture of discipline means hiring extremely qualified people from the beginning. Qualified people are most likely disciplined workers who don't need management holding their hands in order to get their job done.

Take the time you need to hire the right people. Then, when trouble comes, you know your team is built to handle it—even if it needs a little reorganizing first. And, your employees will benefit from your commitment to them, adding a sense of security through those tumultuous times.

Great companies know the people are not the problem. Great leadership is about organizing the workforce and managing it effectively—not just swinging the ax.

A coach is someone who tells you what you don’t want to hear, who has you see what you don’t want to see, so you could be who you have always known you could be.” - Tom Landry

Do you want just ‘Yes’ people around you or do you actually want to grow and reach more of your full potential?

It is easier for us to stay in our comfort zones and have people around reassure us that we are doing well than to hear AND DO the things that will stretch us and help us grow.

What are you doing to stretch and grow right now?

“We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.” -Albert Camus

Sadly, there is often a culture of holding on to knowledge in business. People don’t want to pass on the knowledge they have learned for fear of the other person becoming more knowledgeable than they are.

I have seen many companies willing to send an employee to a conference or seminar to learn new innovative ideas or techniques. The hope is that the person will return and enrich their fellow employees, team members, and the company as a whole. However, what seems to happen more often than not is that the information is never shared. There may be various reasons for this, but ultimately it is a *failure* when this happens.

I have also seen many business owners reluctant to share knowledge with employees. They are afraid they will take the knowledge and leave for another company or start their own.

You don’t lose anything by increasing your team’s business savvy and industry knowledge. Albert Camus’s advice is right on. Be eager for your team and employees to become experts on whatever project or level you assign. There’s nothing more motivating than a well-equipped team that wants to succeed and feels like they’ve learned something along the way.
