PROFITS Principles … Community Blog

by Rosalie Lober on May.08, 2009, under Uncategorized

Optimistic and independent by nature, entrepreneurs see opportunity in today’s gloomy headlines. Instead of government handouts, they actively seek and adopt the best practices of successful companies to build their organizations to greatness. But acquiring such intelligence usually costs more than a growing company can possibly afford.

Tuned to the needs of ambitious, growing companies, my new book: Run Your Business Like a Fortune 100: 7 Principles for Boosting PROFITS - demonstrates how entrepreneurs can position themselves quickly in tumultuous markets, integrate change faster, operate without bureaucracy, and become more profitable than larger competitors.

My experiences, illustrated in the book are from companies of all sizes. I’d love to learn about your experiences and hear your stories.

  • Position only for growth – evaluate your possibilities
  • Reality – face the critical issues
  • Obtain vital information - recognize what’s important to customers
  • Flexibility – ability to adapt and shift gears
  • Integration – link all aspects of your business
  • Test and review – scoping the strategies you have in place
  • Steering the company – effective and efficient interaction within environment

Let’s work together to turn our businesses into reliable generators of profitable growth year after year, without investing millions of dollars and many years. Let’s work together in turning our profitable companies into great ones.

The purpose of this blog is to create a community of like-minded entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs and to all learn together.
I welcome your participation and thank you in advance for joining an ongoing dialogue.

Warm regards, Rosalie

    Dr. Lober,
    As a consultant to start-ups, it has been my experience that the types of organizational change interventions most typical in small to medium-sized companies SHOULD include the following:

    Implementing behavioral changes that (1) empower leadership with strategic planning capabilities and (2) impart the significance of job designing. These changes are important because so often the entrepreneurial leaders of these organizations are “bootstrappers” who wear many hats; ultimately their focus is on multiple goals. In the end, resources are not planned and are not optimized.

    Secondary change interventions should include providing communication skills in which leads can illuminate their specialties to clients and translate their weaknesses to stakeholders. In the long-run, this educated tactic boosts confidence, motivation and potential growth for small to medium-sized companies.
