If you're leading a privately held GROWING company, it's important to get a pulse on your people, and here's a simple way to do so.....
Ask them "What are you experiencing as a result of all this growth?"
And then, LISTEN!
They will give you valuable insight into what must be addressed for the business to evolve and fulfill its vision.
The #1 answer I hear when asking this question is DISCONNECTION.
To the leadership team, the vision and why their role is important
To their team members, and their ability to have meaningful connections
To themselves and their higher-level thinking time
Their heads are down, in the day-to-day, grinding out work to keep up with all the growth and feeling DISCONNECTED.
If it isn't addressed, all that growth will affect your culture, and you'll experience a lack of engagement and retention issues.
The solve?
Get your leaders around the table for higher-level thinking time.
Brainstorm ways to improve how your people are experiencing growth
Be relentless in making those changes
Evolve your culture in a way that fulfills your company vision.
