What will keep people focused on the results you expect? Tell your employer where you have failed. This process should be taken very seriously, because it can have a tremendous impact on the overall success of your business. A person with a great resume, treated poorly by management, is no longer very motivated and likely NOT to be a good person. Conversely a bad person, based on what you have on paper, may, with some training, trust, and fair treatment, turn out to be a very good hire.
A poor approach to Human Resource Management
Nobody
wants to wait
for anything anymore. You
may say, for
example, Marketing duties are being handled on a temporary basis by the vice president for finance. What
you need most
is a deep commitment to learning and the willingness to put some effort into achieving your goals. Ordinarily
this would be
a given and not necessarily a matter of grave concern.
A sense of 'act now' works in your marketing plans
To
expand and grow,
you have to market and sell, get referrals, present winning proposals, offer unique products, and then provide great customer service. A
mistake here could
be construed as a misrepresentation by an unsympathetic outsider. The
position of a
company and the pattern of interaction of which it is part determine the efficiency of that company s operations and the potential for its development. Do
you have excess
capital, financial strength, banking contacts, or credit that would add to a new venture?
Figure out project close-out requirements for Finance
But
how do you
build a different, more effective business? The
most important part
of a plan intended for management consumption is probably in the financials. Many,
many businesses never
make it past the planning stage because their would-be founders, as part of a logical and coherent planning process, test their assumptions and find them wanting. Wealth
is created from
assets that make money without you doing much hands-on work.
Is Strategy your company's main focus?
Occasionally
you may still
be asked for a hard copy of your plan. List
every task that
needs to be learned along the way, a timeline, and minimum standards for each position, then track their progress. Think
of close friends.
Eventually
your company reaches
a plateau and can't grow without some new customers.
Keep your eyes open for value-added investments and joint venture opportunities
You're
in business to
make a profit, not to work hard for little or no reward. Make
your patrons feel
that you are their friend. By
refusing small engagements
and seeking clients who could offer big jobs, she would reduce the amount of time spent on otherwise unproductive paperwork and increase the time she could spend completing client requirements. Money
and mind issues
cause many aspiring entrepreneurs to remain indentured servants to their employers and can cause those who do break their bondage to soon return to the relative comfort of being employees.
