Many people who set up businesses do so because they are experts in their fields. But as their organisations grow, they are increasingly forced to focus on management. This can be extremely stressful: even when they have considerable management experience, they often find it difficult to balance the pressures of everyday work with the need to develop the business, or to take a realistic view of the business and its position in the market.
Often, they will try to sort these issues out on their own, with the result that they:
- Make too many assumptions that lead them down a blind alley
- Struggle to prioritise their workloads
This is why many entrepreneurs find they cannot grow their businesses as fast as they would like.
But here is where Bardwyck can help
Bardwyck gives owners and managers a gentle push in the right direction, helping them to do two things:
- take an objective look at their businesses
- prioritise the work to be as effective as possible
As part of this, we can help them through the whole process of developing and communicating their long-term vision for the business and their more immediate goals, before working with them to develop a complete roadmap (strategy) for achieving their dreams.
Long-time business owners and managers ourselves, we understand the pressures of running and developing companies and are well versed in how to help teams and individuals manage their workloads in order to make the most of the available opportunities.
