FlashPoint!’s teleseminar series on The 7 Stages of Growth is based on research-driven tips and tactics to help you manage the growth of your company – no matter whether you are building a ‘small giant’ or growing the next Inc. 5000 company – the information in these teleseminars will improve your ability to:

1) Understand and get ahead of the challenges of growing a business

2) Uncover some of the obstacles that are blocking your success

3) Provide you a language of growth to bring your key staff into understanding and embracing your company’s goals

Your goal as a leader is to think of your journey through these stages of growth as a continuum – the more you do to manage the growth in your current stage, the better prepared you will be for your next stage of growth.

Stage 4: Don’t Leave This One Too Quickly.

This isn’t the time to think about saving money by hiring inexperienced managers. In Stage 4, with 35 – 57 employees, you are in need of managers who ‘have been there, done that’.

And the CEO is now spending at least 70% of their time ‘managing’. Getting the right people on board to take your company through this stage of growth is all about bringing on experienced managers, creating management systems and maintaining your market position.

Stage 4 is also about helping each manager feel confident about their team, about their work, about their own identity as a team. Your job is to help them gain that confidence.

This isn’t just about ‘training’ qualified people to move up in your organization. Yes, that can be done, however experience tells us that it’s generally just an easy way for a CEO to avoid doing the harder work – finding experienced, already trained people already hardwired to help them grow their business.

On this one-hour teleseminar, you’ll walk away with 3 Tips and 3 Tactics you can use the next day to help you manage the challenges of a Stage 4 leader. Each Tactic will be expanded to provide participants with concepts, exercises and tools they can use the next day.
