3 Key Practices for Keeping in Shape (Maintaining a Proper Business)
How is it that a company maintains its quality through out the years? What is it that allows a big business or large corporation to maintain its position as an industry leader? Certainly the answers will vary from company to company and industry to industry but here are a few key elements that are universal.
Diligence
Diligence on the part of everyone in the company is absolutely essential. Most importantly those at the top, with out exception, must be examples they must show interest and dedication to their jobs and business or else how can they expect those beneath them to. All to often employees are micromanaged and over tasked while those above take long lunches and pull no shows and claim the credit. Bureaucracies are notorious for this, large corporate machines where it is almost second nature to pass the work and the blame right along. Be diligent, take responsibility and be aware of the exact responsibilities demanded by your particular position and then execute them. Do not pass your workload to the next guy in line because that is when things begin to fall apart.
Knowledge
Know your business, know your field and know your job. Everyone now a days can interview well, if you have half a brain you know what a potential employer wants to hear from you during that first meeting. The sad truth is that most people have no idea how to do the jobs they are hired to do, or they have the most basic understanding of the tasks that their new position entails. Do your homework, talk to people and of course there is nothing like actual experience. Do not just act like you know what your doing it is important to really know.
Communication
In today’s day and age communication has been simplified and expedited, refined and emphasized to the point of immediate and instant response. Any question can be answered in moments and with little to no cost. Communication amongst departments and through out the corporate hierarchy is paramount and vital for success in any industry. If there exists a breakdown of communications within a company at any level ensuing disaster is sure to result. With cellular technology, emails, skyping and a million other methods proper communication should not be a problem faced by today’s work force.
These three key elements, Diligence, Knowledge and communication are essential to any business. Weather you own a fast food franchise or you’re the CEO of American Express these 3 things are what will keep a business in shape. These are not the only elements involved in running a proper business but these things must be addressed and emphasized to do other wise will result undoubtedly in a less then optimum performance within your field.
