In this month's issue of Ruminations, David Gunzburg explains the 3 Golden Rules to observe and the 4 Commons Traps to avoid when cascading your business goals through every level of your business so as to align staff goals with your business goals. You do undertake the process of staff and business goal alignment, don't you?

If not, you should be. After all, people - not a strategy on paper - are the ones who implement your strategy. And it's not just your "kitchen cabinet" either: the lowest level in your business are the ones at the coal face of your business. They are the ones operating the machines on a day-to-day basis. They are the ones dealing with customers on a day-to-day basis. Setting goals for them that align with your business goals is just as important.

Do you understand what your accounts are saying about your business? Or do you just leave it to "the bean counters"? It's not your job as business owner to do the accounts. It is YOUR BUSINESS to understand them though. Find out more in this month's issue.
