Good Management Leads to Profitability

279: Good Management Leads to Profitability  Joining me on the podcast today is Courtney Bramlett, director of marketing and operations for Scarlet Thread Consulting. We are going to talk about values, how they lead to setting expectations, and having accountability in our firms. It's not every day that we have everything set up so perfectly that everybody comes in and does what they do without questions or confusion about their job. We will talk through some of the things that you can do establish practices that will help your employees or contractors all move forward in the same direction and towards the same goal. So, enjoy and listen in.  Topics Mentioned: Values Vision Expectations Accountability  Key Thoughts:  If we hire the right players, and we can draw the vision for them, they hopefully know what they're getting into, and they're coming in excited and with ideas.  Michele Williams    As you said, when you can get vulnerable as a business owner with this stuff, I think you get more help and you don't feel alone.  Courtney Bramlett    The more that people get constructive, positive feedback, the more they can keep going.  Michele Williams    The only person who suffers when you cannot hold someone accountable or get out of your comfort zone to hold someone accountable, the only one who suffers is you.  Courtney Bramlett    Contact Michele: Email: [email protected] Facebook: Scarlet Thread Consulting Instagram: @ScarletThreadATL Website: ScarletThreadConsulting.com LinkedIn: Michele Williams   References and Resources: Work with Me Metrique Solutions The Five Dysfunctions of a Team The Designers' Inner Circle - Become a Member Today    CFO2Go The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni It's Okay to Be the Boss by Bruce Tulgan Who by Geoff Smart and Randy Street Who Not How by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy Click here to read the transcript for this episode.
