Here is a preview:
Are You Really A High Performer?
You have an impressive title in your family company, but are you really the top performer you hope you are?
How do you make sure you’re contributing what your customers and company need, not just what makes you comfortable?
Are the employees who have been with you from the beginning really up for what comes next?
Understanding what it means to meet the demands of your customers and company, to really perform, not just hold a title or put in the hours, is a critical part of building a great company while keeping your family together.
I sat down with Norm Smallwood, co-founder of The RBL Group. Over decades, Norm and RBL have partnered with and evaluated leaders in public, private, family, and non-family companies around the world. You know their clients and you buy those company’s products and services, likely this week.
If you have ever wondered whether you are a top performer, or whether the family employees you lead really are, Norm shares a four-stage framework to see everyone more clearly.
Part 1 covers Stages 1 through 3. Stage 4 and some practical applications for your family and your organization are coming in Part 2.
Till the next episode…
As you listen, I’m curious what comes up for you. I’ll respond to each comment left below, and any message that you send. If I get stuck, we’ll reach out to Norm together!
And as my grandfather would have said, thank you so very, very much for listening.
