/in Leadership /by fpcadminAs we’re full on experiencing the heat of the summer, I thought it appropriate to think about conflict in business (heated conversations). Most people want to avoid conflict…I bet you’re one of them! Do you run from what you perceive to be a confrontational situation? If you are, you’re probably missing a great opportunity to enhance a relationship, grow personally and grow your business. Sound crazy? Read these 2 articles to get some ideas on how conflict can be a healthy part of your culture.

/in Leadership /by fpcadminThe current workforce continues to be one of the most challenging issues I hear about from company owners that I work with. What can be done? Be worth working for!
That means not only offering competitive salaries and benefits, but also providing a high-functioning work environment, with effective management, professional development and recognition for a job well done. The best-run hiring process in the world won’t be able to overcome bad word of mouth about what it’s like to work for a particular company. Making sure that your company’s brand is appropriately and prominently displayed is a big key to finding the right talent.

/in Leadership /by fpcadminIf you know me, you know that accountability is something I talk about often. It is important in every aspect of our lives.
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 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

/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.
