SHARING THE LOAD MEANS WHO IS ON THE BUS - WILLIAM EASTMAN

PROFIT RADIO "A Network of Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs"

Introduction
One theme consistent in Season 3 is the station's becoming your CGO - Chief Growth Officer for Hire, the underlying role of the Network. All of my shows: Growth Community, Building in Front of You, Your MLM Empire, Economics for Owners, the Self Managing Organization,  Creating a Consulting Business, and today's Show Series on the Growth Community centers on how to use the IBGR Network for business success. 

​Our relationship with the listening audience of entrepreneurs and owners: 

• Provide INSIGHTS that are useful
• Provide TOOLS that work
• Provide RESOURCES that saves time and money
• Make a FINANCIAL impact on the business 

That is the meaning behind Looking at IBGR as your CGO - your virtual Chief Growth Officer so you can Live the Life.

Last week we tackled "ALL COMPENSATION IS VARIABLE- WILLIAM EASTMAN" This week we close out the topic with what do you need to do and who should be on the bus.

Show Objectives - The WHY
We getting close to the end with only the conversation about payoff of all this work left for next week. The first half of today's show is on the big stuff you must create making self management a possibility. The second half is all about what type of help and support you need to make self management the reality.
​
Key Issues - Owner Perspective:

1. How do I create and manage it?
2. Who should I hire and retain?

What You Need to Know - The WHAT
How Does the Owner/CEO Create and Manage It?

• The Vision, Mission, and Values Statement is not just a poster;
• Management by Objectives is the core;
• The Role of Leadership is Horizontal and Vertical Alignment;
• The Role of Management is a Shared Problem Solving & Decision Making Model;
• Everybody is an Owner.

Who Should Work There?
I will make the case that an organization that has self-management as a goal taps into the natural yearnings of people; there is nothing unnatural here. Everybody, well almost everybody, wants to be successful and perceived as competent. This is driven by a hierarchy of needs that once met (not completely satisfied - just enough) the individual moves to a higher level - exactly what we are trying to do with the business.

1. Smart Generalists: over the years I have learned the easiest way to tell the difference between the smart and pretenders is their ability to generalize. Can an individual take this lesson and apply it to other areas that are not similar? Beware of people that are overly literal, that trait can become an obstacle.
2. Curiosity Driven: good enough isn’t and never will be for them. In order to take a business to the next level you need people pushing the envelope by either thinking outside the box or continuously improving. This is easy to control if the spark is there and almost impossible to impose.
3. Self-Managed: the very definition of what you are trying to create. Individuals that cannot manage themselves would find a self-managing environment impossible 
4. Doers, Not Talkers: You are looking for people with a bias for action. The act with urgency when there are things that need accomplishing. You should be able to pick this up during your suitability interview and then reinforce it with high profile assignments.
5. Team Players: think baseball. It is a team sport that requires working together while not sacrificing the individual. When you are pitching or hitting - its just you.
