Continual education is imperative for the consistent growth and success of your company. This education must come from multiple channels. Corporate training, self-education and outside learning opportunities must not only be encouraged but required. We have found in our industry that, often, we don’t expect our people to continue to learn and grow. The experienced employees with good to moderate success help to create our own comfort zone or expected results. We don’t want to bother them with the same old training efforts. We just leave them alone and expect them to naturally get better with time. The problem with that idea is we don’t really get better at anything we do with just repetition. We get better with perfect practice, analysis of execution and learning new ideas about a subject. We should always push our people to work toward their personal potential. Their potential is always greater than their current reality, no matter how successful they are. Growing your business comes directly through the growth of your people: • Train expectations • Monitor progress • Push employees to the next level • Reward growth “Not every difficult and dangerous thing is suitable for training, but only that which is conducive to success in achieving the object of our effort.” — Epictetus In any business, people are the greatest asset. Without the right people, the company’s vision can never be executed. It is imperative that education, training and personal growth be not only encouraged but required. This is the only way your number one asset will grow in value and be worth more today than yesterday. Take the steps today for your asset appreciation.
