How much time have you lost in meetings, where the conversation goes all over the place with no clear outcome ?

If you run a small to medium sized business, with the eyes on an exit, this makes very interesting reading. It’s a report from The Firefly Group - they invest in growth-oriented lower middle-market companies.

I often meet people working in a business with no clarity on where the business is going and what part they play.

Its’ just a job for money. Do your job. Go home.

How much better do you think it would it be if we are all clear of where we are heading, and can all make a difference in achieving the vision.

At some stage you will have someone that you really like in your business, they meet your values, but the job they were doing has outgrown them. You need someone better, what do you do?

Its never straightforward is it… being a parent, and neither is running a business.
