Episode 239
Do you feel like your business is a disorganized beehive? As in, people are running around in different directions and no one seems to be connected to, or aware of, the company vision?
You can solve this by helping your staff get connected to a company manifesto that is delivered to the team daily. It gives your staff the opportunity to spend 30 or so seconds reflecting on this manifesto and to make them think how they can serve this vision on a daily basis.
What makes a good manifesto? It begins with purpose, values, brand promise, and the BHAG. The manifesto should be short and sweet, taking roughly two minutes to read. It creates transformative work because now everyone on the team is working in alignment.

PhD Research on CEOs
Quick favor: I'm in the middle of my doctoral research, and I need CEOs Here's the question: is there a point where working more hours actually indicates a worse leader? Nobody has measured it. I'm measuring it. If you're a CEO or president with at least ten people in the business and three direct reports, it takes just a few minutes. And Your team answers a few anonymous questions. What you get back is a report comparing how you rate yourself to how your team rates you. That gap is usually the interesting part. ScalingCoach.com/study
