Stage 6: Become a Smarter Fish in a Bigger Ocean

If you’ve captured the imagination of your managers, they now provide the stability to make good decisions, connect with their direct reports, and provide sound input that keeps you updated on critical issues.

This level of engagement is critical in Stage 6 because it’s time for you to, once again, shift your view, your attention and your energy. The company must pay strong attention to its strategic orientation in the market place. With 96 – 160 employees, it’s time to look beyond the arena you have built and prepare to take the company into a more challenging competitive environment.

You must set in motion the longer view, move from an annual planning perspective into a multi-year strategic perspective and drive the organizational culture as a visible leader. Emphasis is once again on people as your top growth gate with profit/revenue as a second priority.

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 6 leader. Each Tactic will be expanded to provide participants with concepts, exercises and tools they can use the next day.
