Be a More Successful CEO in 2016
Mark Hartsell has been quoted in Smart CEO magazine on the keys to success and being a more successful CEO. Below are critical factors to achieving a new level of success in the coming year.
Open to Change
In this article, Mark speaks of being open to change. Given the only constant in life (and business) is change, you better be adaptable, see the big picture as well as the details, realize when change is needed and act on it - quickly. A strong CEO needs to have the right tools in place to detect the need for change and realize the resulting opportunities that come with change.
Proactive Planning
If you are not actively planning and documenting your strategy, goals and key initiatives for 2016, you are behind the curve. You may also need a professional business advisor for 3+ months to help you with focus and discipline on this critical aspect of your business.
Forecasting
I will say it again - If you have not laid out your financial goals and used forecasting as a key planning method for Sales, Costs, Gross Profits, Expenses, Employee Hires, Profit and more, you are flying blind and not realizing your optimal profits and value of your business Seek a trusted business advisor to help you to plan for a more successful 2016.
Sales Management
One of the critical areas lacking in most small to mid-size companies is strong sales management. This leads to weak sales due to lack of accountability and training followed by turn-over and many lost opportunities. Profits soon suffer and the year is quickly lost.
Lack of planning, forecasting and goal setting and is a major deterrent to success and profits in 2016.
