Systemic Systems
By Christina Suter on Apr 25, 2020 at 04:55 PM in Business Issues

Some of those systems may be invisible to you. The way you handle employee complaints may not have a conscious system; you may handle complaints by immediately talking to that employee or having them fill out a complaint form, and both of those are systems.

Delegation & Your Leadership Style

Delegation & Your Leadership Style
By Christina Suter on Mar 19, 2020 at 02:47 PM in Business Issues

The basic topic of time management is really a conversation about tasks, not time. What tasks are you involved with? What tasks do you and your business need to get done?
