What Makes A Business Truly Successful And Special?

You’ve got a great product in fact better than most. In fact people really like what you have to sell. You’ve got excellent prices competitive and reasonable. Your web site is up and running and says the things people need to know about your product. You have a good marketing campaign that reaches the niche market you are targeting. You have learned about factoring and you are getting your money in a timely manner.

Yet something is wrong. Your business is not growing, not profitable or both. However, when you try to approach your employees to discuss ideas and plans, they take evasive action (when they see you coming they go the other way). At meetings, getting answers and sharing information, is like pulling teeth.

Attitude starts at the top and you’re it. Perhaps the real problem is you.

Every company needs revamping, reworking, new ideas and input without fear of reproach. Are they afraid of you? If am employee is overworked and stressed can they share that with you without reproach? Or are you creating stresses in their work environment?

The companies that fail are the ones where the boss isn’t listening. He’s not committed to his people, and it shows. Or worse his over zealous commitment to making things work is making him unwilling to hear any opposing views or enlightening ideas. Or possibly the boss’ great ideas are a daily or weekly flip from his last great ideas. It becomes a barrage of ideas and instructions, changing daily, misunderstood, and at best poorly acted upon. Nobody knows what’s next and certainly doesn’t want to spend too much time on something that will be passé next week.

However there is hope for you and your company. Think about it. Consider the example below.

Have you ever been in a restaurant where the staff seems to ignore you? The greeting is lame if at all. The service is lackluster and the wait staff is surly. But down the street or in another town, in a similar restaurant, the smiles are everywhere; the door is opened for you with a big smile. You are given a choice of seating and the wait staff is attentive and caring.

What makes the difference? Attitude starts at the top. Of course training your employees matters but a positive and caring attitude, starting at the very top, is not just good leadership, it will always allow a true team effort with empowered employees, and will get any company on the road to profitability and a secure future for all.
