Ask seasoned executives to share mistakes made in their career and a common answer is they didn't address quickly enough personnel issues that arose at their company. As I work with business owners on their journey of building company value and personal net worth, this topic often arises. It's a topic because many business owners come to realize as we work together and strengthen their company strategic direction, that parts of their organization may have to change in order to accelerate overall value creation. And sometimes it's a particular employee that was helpful in the company getting to where it is today but no longer posseses the right skill set or even mindset to enable further company progress. This is where ownership has to make the tough leadership decisions and either reassign and/or replace the employee and get the company back on track. The longer this important decision is delayed, the more it can be holding back overall company value creation. Address employee issues quickly and effectively and remain on your value building journey.
