The Business Circle


First Reaction/First Glance


When you look inside of any business what do you see?


A balance sheet, cash flow statement, sales reports, profit and loss report and of course any company's most important asset, their employees.


The Learning Process


The Business Circle is very much like your Family Circle. As I think we would all agree, family is #1. However, a company and the decisions that are made for it are every bit as important as the ones we make regarding our family.


Any great company is an entity that builds assets through hard work and good decisions. It is the decisions that truly provide for the longevity and sustainability of a thriving business.


Keeping the Future Strong


In the Business Circle there is that one constant that always will be there. That constant is change. It's change that continuously forces management to reevaluate the processes and their most important asset, their Employees.


Employees are evaluated on their talent and the contribution that they make every day.


As an employee you might want to ask yourself the following questions when you are asked to make changes.


1. Am I open to the change?


2. Have I asked enough questions to understand why the change is important?


3. Will I give it my best even if I don't like or agree with it?


At the end of the day, if we ask ourselves these type of questions, and react in a positive manner, then we will realize that even though I have been a great employee in the past, I be as good as, or better, in the future. In doing so, you, as an employee, the company’s most important asset, will prepare yourself so that our Company's Business Circle becomes stronger and more aligned.
