PERSONAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Nicola McHale is Vistage chair for the South West , a private advisory group for business leaders . Nicola gives her thoughts on building a personal brand .
Successful businesses always pause and reflect either now or at the end of the previous year – did you ?
What was your most significant accomplishment in 2016 – How will you replicate it ? What was your biggest mistake ? What will you do to avoid a repeat performance ? What was your best business decision ? What was your worst ? What did you learn from each experience ? Do this yourself and with your top team and with every member of staff – it helps clear the decks . That way people learn from their mistakes and you ensure they are performing to the best they can and you can hold them accountable this next year .
Now what about 2017 – successful leaders always take the time with their teams to plan for success . They will take a day early in January to get ready for the year .
What do you want / have to achieve ? By Christmas 2017 , what will you have achieved ? What does success look like ? What is your number one strategic priority ? Think about how you will communicate , measure and execute against it .
What specific , measurable , regular activities over time will you engage in to enhance your development as a leader ? How will you hold yourself accountable ? What could stop you as a leader ? How could you stop your own success ? What behaviours do you need to change ? In my Vistage Groups we challenge one another to be our very best and achieve the most we can with integrity . Every month we stop , reflect , challenge and learn . We discuss our members biggest issues , brainstorm , question , challenge and support until they can find a resolution . Imagine 10 – 16 brains working on your issue , coming up with solutions for you . It is amazing what we can achieve together .
Contact me if you want to transform , grow and change your business and results this year . Leading a business can be a very lonely place and you can feel isolated . I know I have been there . I know how wonderful it can be , but also how hard it can be .
