Fat Pants:
What many of us and our businesses ended up wearing over the last 18 months.
Your strategy went out the window.
Your plans were no longer applicable.
Your culture was shaken.
All you could do was execute the best you could to keep enough cash coming in the door to survive. We all know the last 18 months cannot be our long-term plan. We know execution and cash may keep the doors open, but it won’t get your business to its long-term goals.
To get your business growing again, you must focus on the hard systems, strategy, execution, and cash, along with the soft systems, like culture, cohesiveness and psychological safety, and human systems to recruit, hire and retain top talent for your business. Think of them as the two sides of a zipper.
The hard and soft systems of your business must move together simultaneously to get your business back on the path to real growth. When both sides are in sync, your business will have the clarity to get that zipper moving, hit their goals, and get back into their skinny jeans.
Where is your team or business on their journey?
Are you fighting fires and trying to make it through the day in your fat pants?
Or are you back in your skinny jeans, hitting your goals and delivering results for your business?
