A fundamental rule for success – Delegate!
by Mark SinclairDelegation matters!
No matter what size or type of business or organisation you work in or own, delegation matters. If you are a leader then invest the time to learn and become a great delegator.
Delegation is a fundamental leadership skill and essential for leadership success. Leaders cannot perform all the work expected in their area themselves. Consequently, effective allocation of work to individuals or teams is essential. Delegation can have different purposes, including to distribute work, balance the use of resources, reduce bottlenecks, provide development opportunities, build engagement, motivate, improve productivity and to ensure appropriate expertise is applied to tasks.
Delegation requires planning, a structured approach, discipline, support, coaching and follow-up.
Some of the common causes for not delegating effectively include lack of trust, perfectionism, unrealistic expectations, poor delegation skills and a failure to invest properly in the process.

Tip for improving business results – Challenge the status quo!
by Mark SinclairInterested in improving business results? How does the saying go? If you continue to do what you have always done you will get the same result. Well that may or may not be true in business. True, poor processes or poor service will no doubt lead to continued poor results. On the other hand, business results may have been very good but continuing to do the same thing may lead to future decreases in business performance and possibly even business failure. This could be due to factors like changing customer needs, habits or buying processes, new competitor offerings, competitor use of new technologies, new products or services displacing ours, supply chain factors, political changes, economic changes and more. Also, just because results are very good does not necessarily mean they could not be even better.
An essential skill for any small business owner is the ability to challenge the status quo with a view to improving business results, service, products, business processes, staying ahead of competitors, engaging staff or suppliers and ultimately ensuring ongoing success and more profit.
So, business owners and leaders should continually ask questions and seriously challenge the current ways of working. Who should they ask – themselves, their leaders, their staff, their customers, their suppliers and other experts. All of them! Questions for improving business results could include the following and many more.
Here are a few suggestions:
The capacity to challenge the status quo is a critical skill for business leaders in improving business results. If you would like to find out more about how we can help, please contact Simulthink or click here for more information on our innovation management services.
A tip for Small Business owners and leaders – Take time out from the operations to Think and Act strategically!
by Mark SinclairBusiness owners and leaders constantly find themselves caught up in the operational and day to day. That is completely understandable. Small business owners typically have to be a jack of all trades. Customers, marketing, sales, products, services, systems, processes, human resources, financial, technology, communications don’t wait. They all have to be managed by someone – and usually there is no department to do it. Just the owner or business leader and a hand full of staff. No wonder one of the major pitfalls for business owners is failing to take the time out from operations to think and act strategically or do some business planning. Somehow, business leaders need to find the time to do both – the strategic planning and the operational. So, here are a few simple steps and tips to get started and create the time for business planning and strategy.
In summary, the key steps are:
The first step for business owners and leaders is to DELEGATE as much of their operational and tactical workload as possible. Leaders should review their role and separate out their operational workload from their strategic workload. Seriously ask – how much time do I spend on planning for the future. Then get curious about the future and invest the right amount of time in planning for it.
The second step is to DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT from the normal day to day. Get out of the office. Take key staff with you. Go on a field trip. Use the wealth of strategic planning processes and tools available – SWOT, Visioning, Values development, BCG Matrix, Portfolio Analysis, Competitor analysis, etc. There are many tools available to help business leaders think differently. In need, get a consultant to help.
The third step is to clearly articulate the current state of the business or the AS-IS and summarise it – finances, resources, operations, staff, structure, customers, services, products, systems, processes, technology, communications, etc.? Understanding the starting point is fundamental to any journey.
The fourth step is to take the time to consider the possibilities and imagine the future or TO-BE for the business. Describe the vision for the business and time frame to achieve it. In other words, what will the business look like in the future and when? What markets will be served? What services or products will be offered? What is happening in the industry elsewhere in the world? What will the customers look like? What will the staff look like and what skills will they have? What will the systems and processes look like? What technology opportunities will be leveraged? What will competitors be doing and offering? If you cannot articulate the future then how will you know what needs to be achieved for success?
The fifth step is to create the CASE FOR ACTION. Consider both the AS-IS (current state of the business) and the TO-BE (or vision for the business) and make a list of the compelling reasons for change. The Vision needs to be inspiring but the Case for Action has to be the driving and motivating reasons for change. Maybe customers won’t need your current services. Maybe new technologies will make your products or services obsolete. You may have to create new efficiencies to remain profitable or to be competitive. Staff may need completely new skill sets to achieve the vision. Create an explicit list.
Beyond these steps, the plan will need to be developed and executed. But that will be another tip. In our experience, Execution matters more than the inspiration. Great strategies and business plans require great execution. Without effective execution, plans are worthless.

Building a team requires discipline
by Mark SinclairMost leaders have a highly developed set of technical skills and call upon experience and a proven body of knowledge in their field of expertise or their industry. But when it comes to teamwork many leaders “make it up” and fail to apply any discipline to their team development efforts. That is, they don’t take the time to invest in learning more about best practice in leadership and teamwork, or to seek professional help.
Building cohesive and effective teamwork is essential for business, organisational or leadership success. Effective teamwork requires leadership, clear direction, common goals that team members are aligned with and committed to achieving, clearly defined roles and accountabilities, effective delegation, the necessary skill sets, the right resources, cooperation, team support, the capacity or processes to resolve conflict effectively and more. That’s a lot! So, where to start? Here are a few tips.
Here is a reference to some ideas on teamwork and building effective teams.
