Are You a Good Leader of People? A Must Read…
January 2nd, 2013
by Bill Boyajian

Good leaders understand the inherent strengths and short-comings of individuals and know how to get the most from each. Leaders see the potential in people that others miss. Life – and all firms and organizations, even families – is not populated with gifted over-achievers. It’s full of people who genuinely want to be appreciated for a job well done. They want to know that their actions helped make a difference toward stated company goals. That’s why a little encouragement can help an average person excel.

People need to belong, but they also want to contribute. They want to be part of something big, but they also want to stand out. In effect, they want to participate on a successful team and also excel individually, at the same time. And they can, if we as leaders will let them.

Make it your goal this year to understand your staff, to see the potential in each person, and to empower each to achieve both individual and team-oriented goals. You can’t (and shouldn’t) demand perfection, but you can demand excellence and continuous improvement for your people, and for yourself.

“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.”
