You Can’t Build a Premier League Business with a Championship Team

Send us Fan MailThe people who helped you build the business you have today may not necessarily be the people who can build the business you want tomorrow.That can be one of the hardest realities for a growing business owner to accept.In this episode, Peter Boolkah uses football to explain why the capabilities required inside a business have to evolve as the company moves to the next level.A football club that gets promoted does not automatically keep every player simply because they helped win promotion. It looks at what talent, skills and support structure will be required to compete successfully at the next level.Growing businesses face the same challenge.You'll discover:Why the team that got you here may not be the team that gets you thereHow the skills required inside a company change as it growsWhy loyalty can sometimes prevent business owners from making necessary people decisionsThe difference between somebody being a bad employee and simply being wrong for the next stageWhy rapidly growing companies need to continually assess capabilityHow management and support structures must evolve alongside the teamWhy founders need to separate personal attachment from business requirementsHow the wrong team can place a ceiling on the potential of the entire businessMoving somebody out of a role does not necessarily mean they failed.Sometimes the business has simply moved beyond the level at which that person performs best.As the company grows, the question becomes:Do you have the team required for where the business is going,  or the team that was right for where it has been?CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAHWebsite: https://www.boolkah.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoolkahX: https://twitter.com/boolkahABOUT PETER BOOLKAHPeter Boolkah is a business coach, author and speaker who has spent more than 20 years helping business owners build stronger, more valuable businesses that do not depend on them for everything.He is the creator of The Hamster Wheel Trap® and author of Your Business Sucks: Build a Business That Works Without Destroying Your Life.Peter works with founders and leadership teams on the issues that ultimately determine whether a business creates freedom or becomes another job: leadership, founder dependency, people, profit, execution, scaling, exit readiness and enterprise value.His approach is direct, practical and built around one simple question:Do you own the business, or does the business own you?Learn more at https://www.boolkah.com
