A few months ago I wrote another blog about my time with a business coach. The most important issue to come out of this was that my time should be diverted to the tasks where I contribute maximum value to DrivenByQ - such as pursuing new customers, working on promotion and reviewing the business objectively.
My time needed rescheduling but first we had to discuss this as a team and make decisions together. I'm sure any successful manager will talk about the importance of 'buy-in' from their team when introducing changes. Surprisingly we reached a conclusion pretty quick with little debate.
So what have we done? Well, so far we have introduced another full-time driver. My hours on the road have been halved (and condensed), I have greater financial compensation, the marketing budget is in use and a certain spark of enthusiasm has been re-ignited. I wonder which one will have the greatest effect?
