The 5 Distinctions of a Healthy Business

-


1. Trajectory

Is your business declining, staying neutral, or growing? If your business is not growing, you’ll obviously need to make some immediate changes.

2. Culture
By leveraging the strength of your people’s teamwork, you have the benefit of collective intelligence and expertise; you expand your leadership bench; you support cross-training, where people learn from each other; you promote team engagement and enjoyment; you improve execution and get better results.

3. Clarity

When you and your team share and understand the vision, it pulls you out of your circumstances and toward better results.

4. Cash flow

Cash flow can be hard money, money invested, or money generated. You have to have positive cash flow and reserves. You need to make sure there’s enough cash incoming that you won’t be pressured into making bad decisions.

5. Risk mitigation

This is a principle I’ve been driving heavily on recently with my clients. You need to be seriously thinking about what things could make you have a hiccup in your business. You will have a healthier business if you’re not on the edge in those areas

1. Be open about your needs.   I believe that the first thing people need to do is identify what truly matters to them and communicate it. Don’t hide it and don’t expect others to guess what makes you feel balanced and fulfilled. Do you need to leave work at 5 p.m. so you can have dinner with your family? Do you need to step away at 12 p.m. to attend a yoga class? Whatever your sweet spot is you need to find it and be transparent about it. Employees need to have an open dialogue with their managers and managers need to understand what works and what is possible.
