BRX Pro Tip: Good Leaders Focus on Systems and Processes
Stone Payton: Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton amd Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, under the banner of leadership, don’t you think good leaders focus on improving systems and processes?
Lee Kantor: Yeah. I’m a big believer in systems and processes. And this is where the majority of your energy should be focused in on in any business. I think that by having tighter and tighter systems and processes, that’s going to save you a lot of headaches. It’s going to accelerate your growth and you’re going to be able to create an organization that works well over time and can adapt.
Lee Kantor: I think the organizations where the leader is this hero who comes in at the last minute to save the day is not functional, it is not sustainable, and it’s not scalable. If you regularly have to jump in to fix something or save something, then you might be lacking as a leader. And you definitely are lacking systems that allow this type of activities from happening in the first place.
Lee Kantor: So, I think it’s super important to create systems that help other people become successful. Create a trusting culture that rewards autonomy in taking risks so others can rise up and get those wins. By empowering your team to make things happen, you will have a better chance to create and build this thriving organization.
Lee Kantor: So, focusing on the systems, focusing on the processes, and building a team that trusts each other, that has the autonomy to fail, to take risks, to figure things out, and if things don’t work out, to solve the problem themselves, and then you have an organization that’s thriving and growing.
