The major cause of such predicaments is that many entrepreneurs fail to recognize that there are pre-determined management steps that need to be mastered as the business grows. If you plan to successfully grow your business—without exhausting yourself in the process—it is essential that you know how to identify these steps and prepare yourself to meet them.
In this informative presentation, Chuck Violand uses the metaphor of a staircase to help his listeners understand the five levels of management that are found in every growing business. In essence, he takes his audience on a tour of the staircase. Pausing at each step to point out its unique features, Chuck
- identifies objectives to be met
- reveals key challenges to be faced
- describes tasks to be performed
- lists skills to be developed
- presents time allocations to be made
With the responsibilities of each management level now made crystal clear, his audience can learn to master their current step, as well as, prepare to advance to the next level.
Chuck closes by providing his tour companions with a small souvenir—a wallet-sized card listing five essential questions they must ask themselves throughout the day. On their own with this helpful guide, they’ll be able to keep climbing the staircase to business success.
Requirements:
- 60 minutes for presentation; 90 minutes with Q&A session
