Pillar 1 - Best PracticesThere is both an art and a science to building a business. Although, your business will be your unique creation, with its own “colors” and “forms”, the scientific aspect means it’s not necessary to re-invent the wheel. You can learn from the great organizations that have gone before you. What made them successful has been codified into a group of best practices, based on studies by the most prestigious business-related institutions (both academic and commercial) and recognized internationally. Some of these practices are... Standardization of every aspect of your business, including a leadership routine. The cultivation of leadership at all levels. Attention to getting the right people into the right positions throughout your organization and then drawing out the best they have to offer. Ample, honest, broad-based communication. Focus on a single concept that elicits your passion, can serve as your economic driver, and is something you can be the best at. Strategic planning and the development of a Unique Strategic Position, based on market analysis. The creation of an environment that supports the right balance of freedom and discipline (including self-discipline) within your team. Consistent, repetitive action that works to built up momentum to the point of breakthrough success. ***** Integrity Matters Business Services teaches and provides tools for implementing all of the above practices.
