Funny how in licensing school no one ever taught you how to be a leader right? Maybe you learned from your parents or a mentor. But leadership is a hard thing. Unless you have met or been mentored by a strong leader, it’s a very hard thing to do and understand. I have always found that leadership is something you feel and when you feel it you can believe in it. If it’s foreign to you, you will never truly understand it’s power.
As we continue across this great country to do more Agency Assessments we find that we are spending more and more time assisting the agency owners become better leaders before we can dive in and work with the team. Without effective leadership, anything we do just won’t stick and becomes a waste of money. This helps us facilitate great communication and get team buy in!
Here are the top areas we like to make sure agencies are focused on so we can help set them up for success:
Objective
Updated Accurate Organizational Chart/Launch Team Leaders
Updated Accurate Job Descriptions
Mission Statement Review
Post Assessment Team Meeting/Share Org Chart
