You may be one of those business leaders who wants a little more out of your company. You’re ready for some change, but you know that continuing to do the same things in the same way won’t get you the results you want. You know where you want to take your business—but are you getting there?

Sometimes even the most gifted business people need help to sharpen their focus and also need a bit of help to ensure that they can take their company to the next level. Let’s look at a few areas in which companies sometimes struggle when they are trying to grow.

Goals, Vision, and Strategy

Talk about the importance of having someone to help with setting goals, vision, and developing a realistic and measurable business strategy.

Instruction

There are times when business leaders know what needs to happen, but simply don’t have the skills to make those things happen because they’ve never been taught. It could be in the area of planning, evaluating personnel, setting realistic budgets or managing cash, or in setting up systems and protocols that will help them accurately monitor how well their employees are executing the strategies they’ve developed.

Mentoring and Guidance

Some business leaders need to have someone there to guide them through the processes required to transform their businesses. They may know what to do, but they need some mentoring and guidance to talk and walk them through the experience.

A Confidant

Occasionally a business leader simply needs a confidant with whom he or she can discuss sensitive company issues in order to get an independent and impartial opinion about how to move forward. What’s required is someone who is trustworthy and who will handle things with the confidentiality required.

Accountability and Encouragement

Let’s be honest, some of us need that added impetus of accountability to make sure that we move ahead with the specific actions we know we need to take. It’s one thing to come up with a great business vision and strategy, but it’s something else altogether to actually follow the plan. For some leaders, there’s nothing like having someone “hold their feet to the fire” with regard to plans, actions, and execution.
