Are You Inspiring Creativity or Chaos?

Your company needs to run as if it were a franchise-able concept. Whether you suffer from no processes or too many processes, you can’t separate your core advantages from utter chaos.

Unfortunately, most visionaries don’t know where to start in building a repeatable and predictable system. The most talented athletes often make terrible coaches because they know intuitively how to succeed and never had to learn to overcome common problems on their own. Other founders have great product vision but have never learned solid business practices. So they wing it.

It can be lonely at the top. The skills that made you a successful entrepreneur can also come with weaknesses that stunt your growth.

Company founders and visionaries bring a quick, imaginative and intuitive creativity to the business. They are independent and decisive. Unfortunately, that vision also comes with a highly judgmental nature and impulsive decision-making. Visionaries are quick thinking and charismatic. But they can also be impatient and intolerant of others who seem slow to innovate. You need to find the right balance between vision and execution.

By separating out your systems for vision from your systems for execution, you can keep your creativity without causing chaos. When we decide to take on a new client in our business growth practice, many company CEOs, owners and founders are surprised to find out that they can put systems in place to keep creativity flourishing in all parts of their business, inspire innovation and keep employees focused at the same time.
