Raise your hand if you want to grow your business. That’s why you’re here, isn’t it: to turn that small start-up into a medium-sized business, or to turn that medium-sized business into a juggernaut? You’ll need great leadership and a well-designed system. If you’re in South Carolina, Gazelles Coaching provides a perfect solution to your problems.
Gazelles Coaching, if you’re unaware, utilizes highly-trained independent, executive Business Coaches as external consultants to grow your company through a variety of strategic methods. These methods, based on Verne Hamish’s Mastering the Rockefeller Habits: What You Must Do to Increase the Value of Your Growing Firm, spawned a global movement which has (to date) helped over 1,700 companies across 6 continents.
Below, we’ll discuss a few of the methods a Gazelles Coach utilizes to grow businesses.
The Four Decisions
The 4 Decisions focus on the 4 Decisions you absolutely, positively must get right: People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash Management. Flaws in the decision-making process lead to lost revenue and time, as well as causing headaches and wasting effort.
- People: Do you have the right people in your organization? Is everyone pulling their weight and performing as expected? Most importantly, if you were to re-staff your organization today, would you enthusiastically re-hire your current employees?Gazelles will help you put the right people in the right places, and will assist in developing clear accountabilities and metrics in order to accurately track performance.
- Strategy: How is your revenue growth plan? Do you have a solid strategy in place? In order to sustain top-line growth, you’ll need to:
Know your core customer
Develop a clear brand promise
Develop your Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal for Sustainable Revenue Growth
- Execution: How is your business executing? Over time, performance can deteriorate from ‘excellent’ to ‘passable’ or ‘failing.’ If it’s already happening, you need to fix it. If it hasn’t happened yet, take the necessary steps to ensure it won’t.A Gazelles Coach assists in the creation of a checklist to ensure proper execution, while reducing the amount of time required to ensure that execution by up to 80%. This enables managers to focus their efforts on more market-facing issues.
- Cash Management: Are you calculating your Cash Conversion Cycles? This metric allows you to measure how long it takes from when you spend a dollar (through marketing, design, rent, etc.) until you earn that dollar back.A Gazelles Coach will assist you with these 4 Decisions, which provide the necessary guidance to make the right choices and grow your business.
The Five Dysfunctions
Additionally, your Gazelles Coach will help you understand and correct the 5 dysfunctions present within many organizations.
- Absence of Trust: Ensure you have an environment where people can perform their jobs without feeling vulnerable.
- Fear of Conflict: Take away that fear of conflict. It’s a natural occurrence and may be productive.
- Lack of Commitment: Increase clarity and buy-in.
- Avoidance of Accountability: Create an environment where people hold each other accountable.
- Inattention to Results: Focus on collective success, not individual goals and personal status.
