Run Improve Grow: Your Roadmap from Firefighting to Bold Business Growth
Leaders are committed to improving and growing their business, but all too often they find themselves mired in operational details and daily issues, leaving no time to pursue bold visions. Work is so unpredictable, unreliable, and complicated that managers are stuck firefighting in the front line.
Run Improve Grow is a call to action for these to instill in their frontline workers a bold sense of confidence and an “I run this place!” mindset that reflects pride and ownership of their critical role. With an empowered and confident front line, leaders no longer have to dash from urgency to emergency solving problems with barely any time to think. Instead, leaders can focus on big-picture, bold strategies for improving and growing their business.
Run Improve Grow provides readers with proven tools, techniques, and processes for breaking the firefighting habit, including World Class Time Allocations standards, What Went Well Daily Huddle scripts, and how to raise the Bar of Excellence to create responsive, innovative, and nimble organizations.
The roadmap in Run Improve Grow has near-universal applicability. The principles work for any organization. No matter how unique the situation or how specialized and different the industry, Run Improve Grow helps leaders break away from business as usual and start heading toward bold, perpetual growth.
