Strategies for Running a Successful Business

Running a successful business requires having a solid foundation. An effective strategy, strong leadership skills and maintaining employee satisfaction are all core elements and a must for business owners. The following courses are offered as a package and each is meant to build on the previous. You will get the most out of the program by taking all three courses.

1. A Road-map for Growth
   Every successful business requires a road-map and a strategy plan to be sustainable over time.  It requires having a set destination using SMART goals and KPIs to measure business growth.  Come learn about a 7-step process that will take your business to the next level by having a clearly defined, unique value statement to build and execute the appropriate strategies needed for success.  In addition, we will review how to properly implement a balance of technologies and resources required to execute your strategy plan.

2. Developing Your Leadership Skills 
   Leadership is an attitude and not a title. It is the ability to be the example of the skills and passion you bring to your business that others can model from; thus creating an interdependent culture that brings about significant growth and productivity. We will discuss the process to develop your leadership skills into a system that invigorates growth in others from operating with the solution rather than manage the problem. Outcomes lead to higher retention, productivity, efficiency and profitability.

3. Building a Highly Engaged Team
   To build a highly engaged team, you must first have engaged employees. Sounds simple but in today’s environment of a multi-generational, multi-cultural workforce, you need to understand what compels your employees and what gives them a sense of purpose within your organization. Companies with disengaged employees experience 50% employee turnover; 20% less productivity; sub-par customer service; and, are 30% less profitable than companies with engaged employees. In this class we will explore what it means to be engaged and how leaders encourage, nurture and maintain employee engagement through creating purpose.
