Every year,
untold numbers of businesses are launched across the United States, and the
unfortunate truth is that most of them will fail.
Why is it that
some businesses thrive and grow, while most close up shop within a few years?
There are many
factors, including access to capital, understanding one’s marketplace, ability to innovate, and—not to be underestimated—some good old-fashioned luck.
But there is one factor that nearly all business owners can control that may
directly determine long-term business success: hiring the right people and
coalescing them into a successful and powerful team.
Every employee
is a unique individual. Each employee brings his/her life
experiences that have shaped who they are. So, what they do always makes sense
to them – or they would not do it. Then
organizations put these individuals in a ‘team’ with employees whose
backgrounds are very different from theirs.
And we ‘expect’ them to work together effectively.
Many
companies, including some of the biggest tech titans like Facebook or Google,
have humble beginnings. Things usually start with a tight-knit core group that
shares the same passion and drive. Then, after a few years of hard work, elbow
grease, and some good luck, that familial team can balloon into an army. And
while this is usually the hallmark of success, it also presents a whole new set
of challenges to those leading teams within these high-growth organizations.
As a business
grows, the founders will be adding more people to the team and begin to
organize those people to ensure that the company is successful.
With your
company expanding at a rapid pace, you can no longer employ the same management
tactics you used when your entire team could share a single pizza.
You must understand how to organize a team
effectively!

The content and instructor are both excellent. At times it was hard to hear the instructor. I believe there was a bad connection. I wasn't the only one in the class with the issue. I hope to take the course again to better hear and experience the full insights from the instructor.

Choppy and low audio but otherwise fine.

I should preface by saying that the call quality was awful and while that is no one's fault because technology sometimes doesn't work the way we want, it definitely impacted my experience of the webinar negatively. So take the rest of my comments with that grain of salt. The instructor really just read through the slides and a very quick pace. They made reference to "jotting down some ideas" after sections but left no time to do so. The poll questions seemed to come out of nowhere, on at least one occasion while it seemed the instructor was mid-sentence! Lastly, while I appreciate a full spectrum of experience and background, and I realize also this was a free webinar, but surely you could find more voices of diversity...the reference to Rudy Guiliani's team leadership style was a little tone deaf in my opinion. Overall, I'll give these webinars a few more chances, but on the whole I was a little disappointed.
