When you first start your own business there never seems to be enough time. I certainly was no exception to this entrepreneurial mantra. What the truth really is; once time is gone it can never be reclaimed. One of the reasons I got into business for myself was not only for a more affluent lifestyle but also to spend more quality time with my family. However, what I quickly found in my first few months is, that all my time was used primar

In the small business, “leadership” and “management” are more often than not experienced as co-existent realities, both within particular individuals and dispersed in and through the people throughout every level of the business.
The elements that hold it together in achieving this outcome are the structures that have been put in place to facilitate this originally.
More and more in business today, the requirements for leadership skills development and management capacity must be met at the lowest levels of the hierarchy. The ability for every employee to take responsibility for self-management, self-learning and self-correction is becoming increasingly critical in the knowledge worker age. To do this:
- Personal Mission and Values must be aligned with the business Mission and Values
- Personal decision making must be done within an agreed, common information processing framework and by the use of commonly shared and understood methos of reaching decisions and resolving problems
- Business unit decisions must be aligned with the strategic directions and Vision of the business.
These are the foundational and fundamental common platforms that must be in place in the successful business that allow people to work freely and to achieve high performance and excellence.
