Thinking BIG, Acting small?

I have just delivered a leadership workshop on this concept as so often I see the opposite to be true...

Namely when businesses are not firing on all cylinders they are thinking small and acting big.

Business needs the people to dream about how they want to create value for others, what legacy they want to create.....business needs you to think BIG. The thinking big creates the picture towards which the team can rally around to deliver....we all need hope, we all need a dream to believe in...don't be scared to THINK BIG and don't hold back in passionately communicating that vision.

But business is not just about thinking, it is about delivering. Action determines whether you move towards your dream, action determines whether you deliver your customer what you promise.....all actions are important, small steps create a pathway to big dreams. It is not the big things that people often remember, it is the small unexpected things. So ensure those small actions create big value.

And challenge yourself each day, ask " Am I  thinking big, communicating with passion....and am I ensuring that I never forget the small actions that mean so much"

Or are you just doing your to do list?

Dreaming

Establishing a business is really a crucial step to create. This need so much effort to the side of the one who is planning this. This is very risky to undertake. But so gainful to achieve the very main goal.

Do you value your social network? Social networking, social networks have been the buzz terms in social media over the last couple of years. I keep pondering whether they are being commoditised and I think the answer is potentially... Companies who commoditise and drain value from their networks do so because they don't see the potential net value...they see short term, traditional 'shout at' communication channel. They see the network as a market rather than the value of human connection. If you don't want to commoditise your networks then you need to think about Social Netvalues rather than Networks. We need to FRAME our values because Focus: Whose life can we create value for? Connect with the right people with the same interests and passions. Recognition: How can we best recognise the value our community gives our brand and show our appreciation? Assess: Do we know what kind of value we are wanting for our business:- lists of contracts, conversation, engagement, feedback? Manage: Who is responsible to the community and do we ensure that our community creates constant value ? Excite: How do we differentiate our social media offering? Are we following the crowd or using the tool to deliver engaging communication and content?
