At enCompass Evolve, our purpose is to empower and educate small business owners to become a boss that employees want to work for, and to build a business they want to work in. Throughout our podcast series, Small Business Evolution, we’ll provide valuable insights, practical strategies, and expert guidance to entrepreneurs, as they begin evolving their small business from a one-person operation to a thriving organisation.
Feedback should be a natural part of your workplace culture and a two-way street in your business. Just as you provide feedback to employees on how they can progress in their role, their input can lead to improved processes, happier customers, and long-term business growth.
If you’ve started hiring for your small business and are struggling to find or keep the right person, the problem might not be with the pool of candidates, but with how you’re advertising the job.
As you transition from being the solo operator of your business to the leader of its team, you may feel you need to be exceptional – to know it all and to do it all – and you now have an audience if you don’t live up to those expectations…
As a solo operator, you had no choice but to be involved in every aspect of the business. Every decision was yours and every task was on your to-do list. If you’ve started to build your team and nothing’s changed, how will your business grow? And at what point will your investment start to pay off?
"People don't leave jobs, they leave bad bosses", and you may be able to manage your business, but these skills aren’t necessarily transferable to leading your team. In this week’s episode, we get down to the basics of leadership, and how you can begin developing this skillset before you even hire your first employee.
They work for us, we pay their wages, so why are they making so many demands these days? In this episode, Ashleigh discusses the changes in gratitude attitude, what business owners might owe employees over and above a legal wage, and how we can show valued staff that they matter.
Creating a workplace culture on and with purpose, versus letting it develop by default, makes for a happier, healthier, and more productive team. It also allows you as the business owner to enjoy your job more, and spend more time on the work that matters.
Ashleigh chats about the benefits of effective systems and processes to streamline operations, improve productivity, and ensure consistent results in your business. She includes valuable tips you can easily implement into your small business.
This episode focuses on the importance of establishing a solid foundation for your business; defining your purpose, setting a clear vision, defining core values, and developing a mission statement. Most importantly, we cover how this foundation can create stability and consistency throughout your organisation.
An overwhelmed and underprepared entrepreneur will often make more work for themselves in becoming an employer, rather than making life easier. Here are just some of the ways becoming a boss can actually be a hindrance, and a few tips to avoid them.
