| Three Leadership Problems February 22nd, 2013 by Bill Boyajian |
Almost every executive, owner, or manager I meet has three significant problems: • They are challenged in setting direction for their company. • They have employees that cause them undue frustration and heartache. • They lack a disciplined approach to managing their day-to-day operations. If this sounds familiar, rest assured, you aren’t alone. Often, leaders in any business have a deep sense of knowing what to do. But they tend to postpone or simply procrastinate on the important issues in order to deal with the urgent, often unimportant ones. What could possibly be more important than creating a plan and setting direction for your business? Leaders, even very good ones, let troublesome and difficult employees get the upper hand in the business, and in turn, undermine the remainder of their team. Such employees get under a leader’s skin and create anxiety, often to the point where communication breaks down and a crisis develops. Perhaps even more disturbing, leaders find themselves with no rudder to keep the business moving in the right direction. Instead of having a managed approach to maintaining sensible and realistic operations, they resort to the “whim of the day” without recognizing the impact this can have on people around them. All good leaders need someone to talk to, to confide in, and to provide advice and counsel that brings clarity to business decision-making. If you don’t have someone like this, I encourage you to get moving on it right away.

“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.”
