5 KEY FACTORS TO PROPEL YOUR BUSINESS FORWARD
Get Your Peas In a Row focuses on 5 key principles – The Five Peas Framework ™
Get Your Peas In a Row focuses on 5 key principles that form a flexible and practical framework for sustainable personal and business growth.
Throughout the book, you’re given questions to consider and activities to undertake all of which will give you a clearer insight into your own personal purpose and direction, and how to grow your business sustainably and successfully.
The 5 Key Principles:
Yes, it’s Personal.
The first of the 5 ‘P’s focuses on YOU as a business leader:
- Clarity around your personal goals and how these align with your business.
- Courage: beating impostor syndrome and building the confidence to lead.
- Capability: understanding what you need to learn, which skills you can leverage for the future… and what you need to leave behind because it no longer serves you.
- Character: deciding the legacy you want to build for the long term.
Defining Your Purpose
Our second P focuses on deeper levels of your business: defining your purpose, values, vision and mission, before moving on to practical elements of developing your strategy for growth, and communicating all this in a way that everyone understands and buys into
Set Goals and Manage Your Team’s Performance
This third P is often when things start to go pear-shaped.
How is your business structured now, and what does it need to look like to support your future plans?
How do you set goals and manage your team’s performance...and build the leaders below you?
How does everyone communicate, especially cross-functionally?
Understand the Rationale Behind Your Processes
Without robust processes, systems and the right tools for the job, no business is scalable.
But it’s not a matter of ‘set it and forget it’: your team must understand the rationale behind your processes, and be committed to following and improving them as you move forward.
Building a Company Culture
Culture eats strategy for breakfast, they say – and they’re right.
Our final P is about actively building a company culture that supports all of the above, with practical approaches that can ensure it lives and breathes and isn’t just corporate jargon on a wall poster.
