March 2018 Features
Greetings!

This month, my boards have been discussing staff metrics and accountabilities.  After all, business owners are accountable to their banks (and TAB fellow members).  What metrics do you hold your staff members accountable to?  What SHOULD you be holding them accountable to in order to meet company objectives? Contact me at 763-551-4777 to get in on the conversation.

Also - a big welcome to my new subscribers!

How to Find the Most Qualified Candidate

Group interview: Create a short list of 8 to 10 candidates, bring them all into a group interview, assess their ability to communicate in a group and stressful environment. The "A" players quickly stand out and the bad candidates deselect themselves.

Efficiency with (ADD)

Automate, Delegate and Destroy (ADD) is a new way of looking at the tasks in my business. For every task my team and I ask – Can this be automated? Should this be delegated? Should we stop doing this and is there a better way? It keeps us from getting stuck in our "standard" ways of doing things and improves our efficiency.

"Both components of TAB - coaching and board meetings - are very different but equally rewarding in that I am held accountable for my decisions in a way that nobody who worked for me could ever do. My facilitator has become so ingrained in the business that I rely on his counsel for every major decision and many intermediate decisions."
