SHIFT: Tactic #3 - Do More With Less - Leverage!

When the market turns, it is time to roll up your sleeves and for everyone around you to do the same!  It's time to work both smarter and harder!  It's time to evaluate which resources and services must stay or must go.  It's time to consider effectiveness and efficiency as tools of necessity.  It's time to see what bang you can get for the bucks you've got!

When the market shifts, your organization must too!  It may be time to reassess and top grade your people but first, you need to take a hard look at yourself.  Are you maximizing your own productivity?  Then you can look to the others on your team or in your organization and ask the same thing.  Are you all doing what matters most on a daily basis?  Are you doing what you get paid to do and is everyone else?

The truth is this - more staff does not always mean more productivity.  The phenomenal few can do more than many that play the game of mediocrity.  This is going to be a very important thing for you to take a deep look into as the market changes.

In today's session, we will talk about how and what you do when you need to make a change with your people; whether it is hiring real talent or letting those go that are not a fit, you should follow a process that will ensure the best outcome!

As a business owner, leverage through people is key.  Finding and keeping the right people is critical.  And this is extremely true when you are facing a market shift.
