Management 101 - Simple Tips

I have some simple tips which I believe get the most out of your business and your staff which I will share with you in the next little while. Here is the first one.

Focus on the long term, and set your Key Performance Indicators accordingly.

I once saw a video about a driver who struggled to navigate his way through narrow streets - always getting too close one way or another even though he seemed a capable driver. Once the instructor had identified his problem and applied a simple solution, he was away laughing. It seemed the driver was not looking into the distance, but only at what was ahead of his bonnet! As a result he was going very slow and adjusting his steering all the time. As all sailors (and mowers of nicely cut lawns) know, you need to focus on where you need to end up. Let your staff worry about the short term (ofcourse you can help them with that) while you focus on the long-term goals.
