Earlier this week I was at a client meeting where we were discussing the future of their company and the vision. In the meeting there was conversation about success – what it is to each person and what it looks like when the company is successful. At that moment my mind took off and began exploring this very subject. I left that conference room clear that I would continue exploring this conversation and talk to other people about it – hence, the reason for this blog. Here are my thoughts:
What I realized in the midst of the meeting was how easy it is for leaders or owners in a business to sit around a table and make decisions about what a business will do with its success. In the years of working with businesses I have heard employees share their perspective that the only people benefiting from the success of the business are the same people sitting around that table. What about the employees? What about the clients/customers the company is there to serve? Wouldn’t a company be even more successful if each person within the company was successful? What is success? How often do people within a company talk about what success means to them individually and as a whole? Is success making more money, having a healthy family, buying a home, winning an award, affording a trip around the world, or just getting another person to laugh?
Obviously, success is subjective. Because of the subjectivity, it is important for a business to define what success means to the business and how the success of the business will impact the people (employees, clients, vendors, board members, etc). In my experience good businesses have those conversations, but what about how the success of the people will impact the success of the business. In my experience great businesses talk about how to make the people or the parts of the whole business more successful not just the focus on the business. For me, this conversation is an exponential approach to success.
