ployees will understand because you made the tough decisions to make
it possible for all the other employees to stay with the company. It will
hurt but it needs to be done!”
It was the first time Steve had really listened to an employee. Joe was
a top producer and had the pedigree for credibility in Steve’s eyes!
“Could he be right?” Steve wondered.
Steve took a few days to reflect on that advice from a now-trusted employee.
He also reflected on the purpose for his life, and concluded that
the profitability of this company was paramount for his ability to serve
the world for a greater good. This part was always natural for him, but
took on much greater importance now.
He immediately set out to convey the central message of his company
in a clear and compelling way. He understood this was the answer to
rallying the troops.
He continued to master his elevator pitch and hot seated all of his employees
to master it as well. They needed to do this to all be ‘on message.’
He had to be the pioneer of change. He had to be the one to lead
it, but it was vitally important for his employees to own it. That would
come next!
In two weeks time he gathered all the evidence and made a tough decision;
that was to immediately fire the 10 employees who were known
for not pulling their weight anyway. Immediately company morale shot
up. Profits increased because of the tighter payroll and the realization
that everyone needed to pitch in and pitch in now. He reviewed, listened
and acted on what he knew to be true. Basic, but effective!
Two years later Steve’s company has tripled in revenue, and he is well
on his way to funding the foundation that reflects his passion to help
others in need.
Indeed, Steve’s map to success in business came back to fundamentals.
In this case they are called the five indicators. These five indicators
are needed to separate the big boys from the also-rans: In the business
world today, you are relevant or you are dead! In Steve’s case he followed
a simple plan and stayed relevant.
