“Be Data Driven” - that’s what my professor in business school would drum in to us. He would say “because data changes behavior!” He was right of course, he’d had a long career consulting with many businesses and had seen the proof.

A top priority as a business owner should be maximizing the potential of your employees. Hostile work environments make for disgruntled workers who apply little effort and only accomplish the bare minimum. Take advantage of all your employees have to offer by implementing certain processes. A staff that feels engaged and satisfied represents quality management and gains the respect for your company through the eyes of your loyal clientele.

Every business has its own strengths and weaknesses. If your company has new customers and a constant demand for products, you may be unaware of lesser known areas in your business that you need to address for improvement when you’re just trying to keep your head above water each day.
