/in Succession Plan /by fpcadminI know it might sound crazy at the beginning of a new year, but do you know your exit strategy? Do you know how to improve the value of your company to maximize your exit?
I know, I know…you are still recovering from the holidays and just want to watch the big game this weekend! Trust me, I get it. However, it is never to early to identify how to maximize what is most likely your biggest investment. Maybe between today and the game on Sunday, you can find some time to read these articles? I promise they aren’t too long and hopefully they will give you something meaningful to “chew on” during the game
As a matter of fact, I will be speaking on the topic of accountability at the 2020 Annual Retreat for the Virginia Council of CEO’s in a couple of months.

/in Leadership /by fpcadminAs the year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on the year that’s wrapping up and the year ahead. One of my core values is “it’s all about the people”, so that leads me to think about all of the customers and employees that are impacted by my clients. Folks, if you take care of them your business will flourish. Make your plans to establish a culture of employee engagement and a culture of customer experience in 2020. These articles will give you the road maps to do just that!
I wish each of you a healthy and happy holiday season.

/in Succession Plan /by fpcadminAre you ready for 4th quarter?
Have you started planning for 2020?
How about your succession planning?
If the answer to any of these questions is “no”, you need to set aside time to work on all of them. Without a clear vision and a means to get there, you will struggle.

/in Leadership /by fpcadminIn a conversation with a client the other day, we were talking about how impressed he was with his son’s school and their level of accountability for their students. The students have to earn the right to be in advanced classes and if they don’t, they are bumped back to regular classes. So I asked him if he applied this same practice in his business…any guess what his response was?

/in Business Management, Leadership /by fpcadminAs a leader in your organization, are you taking action on every significant thought that comes to mind? Do you “know” something isn’t right, but just hope that it will resolve itself? If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. Tough decisions are difficult to act on. This month’s article discusses a great tool to help you move forward with those necessary decisions (the ones around your people, anyway). If you can learn to set your emotions aside (and this tool will help you do that), and remember that your decisions should be in the best interest of the company as a whole and not any individual, then it is far less difficult to make the correct and necessary decisions to make and keep your company healthy.

/in Leadership /by fpcadminHave you ever had a great employee…but they just weren’t meeting expectations? Do you realize how paralyzing this can be to the entire organization? The following article does a great job of summarizing this exact scenario. Sometimes having that challenging conversation is exactly what the company needs to move forward.
