KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 3 Reasons Why Some Businesses Fail 
No perceived need for change – You need to know on every level why you’re making these changes. If there’s no need to change already within your business, then you need to find a need for change and change things in a meaningful way. 
It’s not lead from the top and driven from the bottom – Ensure all layers of the organisation are pulling in the same direction. Create an environment where everyone is heading in the same direction for these new changes. 
Communicate regularly and keep commitments – Communicate progress and direction. No matter how much you communicate, you will never reach everyone so keep communicating. Keeping commitments enables you to gain and maintain that trust that you need from your team to achieve your goal. 

 

BEST MOMENTS
