Don't Confuse Hard Work with Productivity

  • If you have already established a hardworking team, but aren’t seeing the results you had hoped for, there may still be some minor adjustments that you can make.
  • There is a common misconception in business that when an employee is working hard, they are getting the job done efficiently and doing quality work.
  • Sometimes, all it can take to improve the productivity of your team is a bit of guidance from the managerial staff.

Establishing Layers

  • It can be easy to confuse loyalty and the willingness to work, with efficiency. It’s a mistake that is made by business owners across the country each and every day!
  • As a business owner and people-manager, it is your duty to help your staff improve their efficiency and gain a view of the bigger picture.
  • The first step in this process will be to institute a master objective, so that you can get the entire team working on tasks that align with a single long-term goal.
  • As the business owner, it is your job to communicate the bigger picture in a way that is actionable and easy to understand.

Relating Back to the Exit Mindset

  • The Exit Mindset is predicated on the notion that thinking from the mindset of a potential buyer for your company will help you understand your businesses flaws, and competitive advantages.
  • While it is true that employee efficiency falls under the infrastructure category, the characteristics and efficiency of your teams can affect your conversations, and of course your product as well.
  • It can be crucial to ask yourself critical questions such as, “Is a potential buyer of the company looking for a hardworking loyal team or would they prefer a team that is intensely focused and achievement oriented?”
  • Maintaining a hardworking and loyal team can provide a monetary value when a potential buyer is evaluating your business, and first meeting your employees.
  • In order for any company to succeed and grow, you will need good employees from the very top, all the way down to the employee who is making a sale or having a direct customer interaction.

Conclusion

  • At the end of the day, the goal should be scaling your business to achieve the maximum amount of revenue and profits as possible.
  • It’s important to remember, when a company is set up correctly, and an ideal buyer shows up, only the ownership will change, not the management!
  • Because of this fact, your employees and your team’s efficiency can provide unbelievable monetary value and contribute to your company’s valuation.
