Effective leaders sometimes struggle with the need to know everything. There are likely a lot of important things going on in your business but do you need to understand every aspect of every employees’ job? That can take up a tremendous amount of your time.
This is especially important when you introduce something new to your business. It could be a sales process, a customer service issue, or a new piece of software.
Motivational keynote speaker, Ken Okel, talks to audiences about ways you can easily improve your performance on the job and being able to strategically focus your time, as a leader, is an important skill.
