LEADING CHANGE: Getting a GRIP...
Making a Difference for YOU and YOUR BUSINESS in SIX KEY AREAS!
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE WEEKEND!
ENTREPRENEURSHIP is a beautiful thing…
It can also be a pride-swallowing siege that we can never be fully prepared for. It’s one of the main reasons I committed years ago to LIFELONG LEARNING and taking full advantage of coaches and mentors and new ideas.
It’s no secret that I LOVE BOOKS, especially breakthrough, thought-provoking, action-taking, challenging, etc. So today I wanted to share a bit about one of my recent RE-reads and how it just might help you as a Captain of Enterprise have a breakthrough in your business.
It’s called TRACTION: Get a Grip on Your Business, by Gino Wickman.
Gino has made quite a name for himself since the book’s release in 2011 and his strategies on the ENTREPRENEURIAL OPERATING SYSTEM.
You can look him up and no doubt see several of his video clips on his system. It’s his version of a “road-map” of sorts and it certainly should PROVOKE any entrepreneur or business owner to THINK DIFFERENTLY about several things and HOW transforming some of the things we’re all tasked with can make a BIG DIFFERENCE.
Chapters like…
The VISION Component: Can they SEE what you’re SAYING
The PEOPLE Component: Surround Yourself with Good People
The DATA Component, The ISSUES Component, The PROCESS Component and of course…
The TRACTION Component.
In the book he discusses LEADERS and LEADERSHIP and how the BEST ONES get things done in a way that delivers GREATER RESULTS.
“Humor me for a moment and mentally detach yourself from your day-to-day details…
Forget all your pre-existing beliefs about how to run your organization. Now imagine a birds-eye-view of your business and look down on it from above. WHAT DO YOU SEE? What if I told you that by reading this book and applying its core principles you could eliminate all of your business-related frustrations…”
Compelling questions like this run throughout the book. It’s a book that is worth taking the time to read, think and see if it doesn’t propel you to IMPLEMENT SOME BIG IDEAS for your business…and your life.
If you decide to take the challenge, and we both know that in the SELLING (or READING) world that the 80/20 rule still applies, chances are MOST WON’T. But if you do, let me know what ONE BIG THING you got for YOU.
Be prepared. If you read it, not only will you get something VALUABLE from it, I’m betting you’ll be recommending it to someone you know.
Have a great INDEPENDENCE DAY weekend,
Michael
