| Take Action February 16th, 2025 by Bill Boyajian |
One of the most frustrating things for people is when they can’t get a decision from a decision-maker. Procrastination leads to bottlenecks in getting things done and a loss of confidence and respect in leaders. There’s nothing wrong with conducting research and analyzing the pros and cons of an important decision. The problem lies in failing to respond to repeated requests for answers by ignoring the very people who are tasked with getting things done. When key people in a business or organization fail to take essential action because of indecision, laziness, stubbornness, mistaken priorities or to maintain control of a situation, it wastes time, energy and money. Most people simply don’t realize how they torpedo the efforts of peers, subordinates, and co-workers by failing to respect their time and their professional requests. If you are the victim of an indecisive owner or manager, or one who simply holds up progress for his own personal reasons, you need to engage more strongly in getting the decisions you need to do your job. A simultaneous thoughtful, but firm, approach works best in getting your point across. If you are the one who is holding up progress, well, you now know what you must do to avoid being the bottleneck.

“I needed help orchestrating a succession plan for our business. I had heard that Bill Boyajian specialized in assisting owners to transition their business to the next generation. He knows how to bridge the generation gap and deliver what each needs to hear. I would recommend Bill to any business owner who needs advice on succession planning from a trusted outside professional.”

"Our family needed some guidance on business transition and succession planning. We asked Bill Boyajian to help us because we knew we could trust him to tell us what we needed to hear. Bill became a valuable resource for our company and our entire family. He has the ability to meet each of us where we’re at and it has served us very well."

“We needed a plan to transition our business to a non-family member and we asked Bill Boyajian to help us. His experience in the area has really paid off, but we didn’t expect the added value of putting us together with a financial planner who helped organize our retirement needs. We now have the fundamentals to transition our business successfully, and we have Bill to thank for it.”
