190: Three Moves That Change a Company
The Moves Owners Delay the Longest Are the Ones That Change Everything
Mike LoBue had just walked a packed advisor circle event through three moves one of our clients made that changed their business. The day after, Joey pulled him into the studio to go through them again while the conversation was fresh. The three moves are leadership development, a real scorecard, and a planning and execution rhythm. Each one is the kind of move owners delay. Each one is the kind that changes what a company is capable of when it finally gets made. Mike and Joey also get into the accountability question every CEO has to answer before any of it sticks.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:
The hard conversation most owners avoid about their leadership team.
How to honor long-tenured employees the right way when the seat fit has shifted.
Why financial statements aren't a scorecard, and what a real one looks like.
Why 52 chances a year to adjust beats 12, and what the weekly meeting takes.
The accountability question every CEO has to answer before the team will.
