Have you created the rules to the game you want to win?
The rules I am talking about are your strategies. The game I am addressing is business.
There is a movie called ‘Moneyball’. It is based on a true story about how the Oakland A’s changed the way baseball teams were assembled. The general manager for the team created new rules as he believed that baseball’s standard wisdom was flawed.
What did he do and how did he succeed? He recruited the so called ‘flawed’ players. The key thing about those players is that their statistics proved that they could get on base, score runs and win games and he did this all on a very tight budget.
You may be wondering what this has to do with you. The answer is everything. I would hope that you want staff that are winners, don’t you? I would suspect that you also want to pay them for the value they contribute to the company. So what do you need to do?
You need to create a strategy. A strategy that is not of the regular wisdom for your business or industry; it is a strategy that changes the rules and is a way you can succeed on your terms.
You future is at stake, so when can you start on this?
