YOU GET WHAT YOU ACCEPT - Sarita Johan

Sarta Johan presenting Build your Core  

IBGR.Network - PROFIT Radio. Everything a business owner needs to start, grow or exit a business. GROW WITH US.

Introduction
The focus in season 4 in Build your Core is on how to build the people side of your business when building your business as a Dynamic Business Partnership  (this can either be through a romantic connection, by blood or non related).
 
As you are flowing through the stages of growth you might upon reflection find yourself pondering this question….. are there areas in my business where I have settled? Is it possible that there is a gap between your work expectations and what is being achieved? If so why? You get what you expect, this was something I learned throughout my business career and within my time in BNI. The lowest standard you accept is what you will get. 

You did not get into business to settle and certainly not around your people. You are investing in finding the best talent, developing them and retaining those who are on the journey with you to help you realize your vision. 

In the last 7 shows we explored the 5 pillar framework, which focuses on clarity, communication, confidence, collaboration and commitment as the key ingredients to a successful partnership. You get what you accept is all about being clear. 

As we continue to connect the dots, our focus on today’s show is around work expectations and how to avoid settling. Work expectations need to be set, reviewed and communicated across the board and be in alignment with your overall organisational vision. 


Show Objectives
In today’s show we zoom in on the importance of setting your work expectations in a Dynamic Business Partnership. By defining and setting work expectations you avoid confusion, reduce non-performance and increase results. 

 Key Issues:

• Culture piece not clear 
• Not a clear defined overview of responsibilities between partners, wearing many hats 
•  Because of no 1 confusion throughout the business 
• Communication unclear about what is expected
• No performance review process in place

 
What You Need to Know

1. First step,  is for you to get clear on what your expectations are, having them in your head and not being able to put them in some sort of understanding will make it challenging to share 
2. Understand your why then articulate them in written form 
3. Take into consideration the uniqueness of you as a team, how will you best communicate your message throughout the business 
4.  Stop assuming, start knowing 
5. Set work expectations allow you to be a high performer(s)
6. Be clear on your business goals and the results your business  wants to achieve, question if they are achievable

What You Need to Do

1. Get clarity around your culture piece as well as the core values (revisit episode 7 the richness in diversity and episode 2 set your baseline)
2. Ensure your work expectations are clearly written and share with your team  firstly create clarity for you then test it with others
3. Share your expectations, include the unspoken expectations.
4.  Invest time in self development 
5. Explain how the work expectations can be achieved, gain buy in by sharing the steps 
6. Seek feedback from your partner(s)
7. Review work expectations regularly with your partners and your team
