He emphasizes how having a strong and clear vision serves as an essential first step toward success; creating a leadership team to move forward with that vision is the key to achieving one’s goals.
Whether you’re a business veteran or just starting out, this episode will help you create a vision that propels your organization toward success. Get ready to set yourself and your team up for success.
“You need to be clear on what you are and where you want to go, because if I’m a leader coming to your business, I don’t want to work somewhere where we don’t know where we’re going. If that’s the case, the carrots are always moving, right? We’re never accomplishing goals, it’s never going to be good enough. It’s a place that I’m not going to want to work, I want to accomplish goals and celebrate us getting to our vision.”
