BElieve in YOUrself
Just when things look hopeless and business looks like it may fail, an entrepreneur must find strength from within and believe in their ability to overcome. No great success story happened overnight. Success comes through hard work, grinding it out day-after-day, executing on a well thought strategy, staying disciplined, reconnecting to the reason you started this journey in the first place, and above all else, believing in YOUrself.
The Culture Difference
Culture is probably the most influential factor when it comes to achieving high-performance. Most practice owners know this. However, many struggle to develop a high-performance culture for many reasons. Some simply do not have the time necessary to nurture a high-performance culture. For others, there may not be a strong appreciation for culture. Others may lack an understanding of what culture is, why it is important, how to develop and nurture it, and how it impacts results.
Creating A Visionary Culture
While the bottom-line will ultimately determine whether a practice can pursue its vision, it is not excessive focus on the bottom-line that will lead to long-term success. Ultimately, a strong bottom-line is made up from many contributing factors, each of which when managed properly, inject the practice with life sustaining energy. That said, for those looking to build enduring practices, there is one factor that has the greatest influence over the others and is responsible for the fulfillment of the organization’s vision and purpose. It is culture.
Tips For Hiring and Retaining Exceptional Talent
You can have the most innovative products and beautiful facility, but if your team is not exceptional your practice will never achieve its full potential. The fact is that people are the real difference maker in every organization. Any leader that fails to embrace this notion is destined to fail.
The Performance Dilemma: Strong Manager or Charismatic Leader?
There's a common perception that the highest-performing organizations are led by charismatic leaders with big personalities. While this may hold true in Hollywood, it's important to note that in today's world, a Gordon Gekko-type leader would not fare well and likely wouldn't stand the test of time, especially in the aesthetics industry.
Embrace the Great Opportunity
By viewing current employment challenges as an opportunity rather than merely seeing employees' actions as cash grabs, practice managers and owners can reinvent their leadership style, reshape organizational culture, and transform how business is done. These visionary leaders will gain an edge in attracting the best talent in this competitive landscape while others may struggle to keep up.
Unleash The Hidden Potential In Your Team
