Stop Being the Sole Driver: Take Your Team to Business Events

Send us Fan MailAre you the only person genuinely driving your business forward?Many founders attend conferences alone, return with pages of ideas and then struggle to create meaningful change inside the company.In this episode, Peter Boolkah explains why business events become much more valuable when you involve your team.Using the Business Excellence Forum and Awards as an example, Peter explores how shared learning, networking and entering awards can give employees a stronger sense of ownership over the company’s future.You’ll discover:Why business events should involve more than just the founderHow learning together creates a shared language inside the companyWhy entering awards forces a business to define what excellence requiresHow awards can create focus, structure and purposeWhy recognition matters to employees as well as ownersHow awards can strengthen your employer brand and social proofWhy employees become more committed when success belongs to “us”How team members can form useful relationships with people from other companiesWhy shared learning accelerates collaboration and implementationHow to stop being the sole person pushing the business forwardThe most important change occurs when employees stop saying:“That’s the owner’s objective.”And start saying:“We are going to achieve this.”When several committed people are driving the business, the founder gains leverage—and the company becomes less dependent on one person’s energy.Look for events and awards that are appropriate for your company. They may be specific to your industry or deliberately outside it. The objective is not simply to collect trophies; it is to expose your team to better ideas, stronger standards and ambitious businesses.Learn more about Peter Boolkah and The Hamster Wheel Trap® at https://www.boolkah.comCONNECT 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
