The United States has more than 100 national monuments. Because of their natural, historical, cultural, or ecological value, these monuments are protected areas. Like a monument, every business has a unique vision and value the business owner must protect to ensure success. Unlike a monument, this vision should evolve.
The Power of Questions
Protecting your business vision can be as simple as taking a few minutes to ask yourself some thought-provoking questions. They bring clarity to your thinking and reveal progress to goals. They uncover the root causes of problems and clarify next steps. Most of all, thought-provoking questions instill confidence in solutions. Some practical questions that can help you fine-tune your business building activities include:
- Am I spending more time building opportunities or managing problems?
- Do I routinely finish the projects I start?
- Does everyone on my Team understand the decisions and actions for which they are responsible?
- Does information flow freely through my company?
- What are my most important measures of success?
Action Increases Performance
Years ago the phrase ‘knowledge is power’ became popular and it motivated many information seekers. The phrase was later revised because one action word was missing. Today’s more accurate statement is ‘knowledge applied is power.’ While gathering the information needed to improve decision-making is a critical first step toward improved performance, it is actually the application of that information that gets results.
