Book 10: Build Around What Works
1. Build Around What Works
When we examine how our business is run, we notice what functions and
works for everyone, and what doesn’t. The key to a well-managed team is building
around what works and encouraging growth with it. As managers or leaders we can
try to change things that derail our employees from what they usually do. While
this is normally done with good intentions, it can often lead to a kink in the
company plan and actually have the opposite effect of what we were hoping
for. Notice what is working for the employees now and how well they function. If
changes are needed (or attempted), try to incorporate the current structure while
leading the employees in the new direction.
